Word Puzzle Kit

Anagram Solver

Enter your letters and find every word they can spell — with powerful filters for length, position, wildcards and more.

How to use

  1. Type the letters you have. Add a ? for each blank/wildcard tile.
  2. Optionally set a length range or letter filters to narrow the list.
  3. Press Find words. Click any result to look it up in a dictionary.

Example input

listen → enlist, tinsel, silent, inlets, listen, and more.

car? → with one wildcard, arc, car, care, race, scar…

Use cases

  • Word board games where you need the highest-scoring play from your rack.
  • Solving anagram clues in puzzles and quizzes.
  • Brainstorming names or titles from a fixed set of letters.

Features

  • Length range, start/end letters, required and excluded letters.
  • Wildcard (?) tiles and a true-anagram “use all letters” mode.
  • Grouping by length, sorting, and an instant result filter.

Data & method notes

Each word and your letter pool are turned into a 26-slot letter-count signature; a word is possible when its counts fit inside the pool (with blanks covering any shortfall). This is much faster than trying every permutation. Learn more on the methodology page.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the anagram solver and the word unscrambler?

They share an engine but suit different needs. The anagram solver is built for board-game and puzzle players who want precise filters — length ranges, required and forbidden letters, wildcards. The word unscrambler is a simpler, faster path when you just want every word your jumble can make.

How do wildcards work?

Add one or more ? characters to your letters. Each ? can stand in for any single letter, just like a blank tile in Scrabble. The count of matched blanks is respected, so two blanks let a word borrow two letters it does not have.

Can I find only words that use all of my letters?

Yes. Turn on “Use all letters” to get true anagrams — words that use every letter exactly once (blanks included).
