What Is an Anagram Solver?
An anagram solver is a tool that finds all valid English words that can be made from a given set of letters. You enter any letters — scrambled, from a game tile rack, or from a word you want to rearrange — and the solver returns every dictionary word those letters can spell. The concept of an anagram itself dates back to ancient Greece: a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase, using each letter exactly once.
Famous examples include "listen" → "silent", "astronomer" → "moon starer", and "William Shakespeare" → "I am a weakish speller". This solver handles both full anagrams (all letters used) and partial anagrams (valid sub-words from a subset of your letters), making it useful for everything from Scrabble and Words With Friends to crossword puzzles and creative writing.
How to Use the Anagram Solver
1. Enter Your Letters
Type your scrambled letters into the search bar. Enter OHTEL and the solver finds HOTEL, HOLE, TOLE, and THE.
2. Set Length Filters
Set a minimum word length to filter out short words, or enable "Exact length match" to find words using all your letters — perfect for Scrabble bingo plays or crossword clues.
3. Browse Results
Results are grouped by word length with longest words first. Pick the best word for your game or puzzle and play with confidence.

Game-Specific Tips
- Scrabble®: Focus on 7-letter words to earn the 50-point bingo bonus. Use exact-match with all 7 rack tiles.
- Words With Friends: Letter values differ from Scrabble. Prioritize longer words containing J, Q, X, Z for maximum points.

- Crossword Puzzles: Set exact length to match the number of squares in your clue, then review all candidates.
The Algorithm Behind the Solver
The solver uses a letter-frequency histogram algorithm. When you enter letters, the tool builds a frequency map counting each letter. It then iterates through a 370,000+ word dictionary pre-loaded in browser memory and checks whether each word's character frequencies are a valid subset of your input.
This runs in O(n × k) time complexity — where n is dictionary size and k is average word length — completing in under 100ms entirely in your browser with zero server calls.
Common Use Cases
Scrabble tile rack solving
Enter all 7 tiles from your Scrabble rack and filter by minimum length 6 or 7 to find bingo plays — the highest-value moves in the game.
Crossword clue solving
When a crossword clue is clearly an anagram, paste the jumbled letters in and set exact length to match the grid squares. Works for cryptic crosswords too.
Pen name or brand name creation
Authors and creators have long used anagrams of their real names as pen names. Enter your name to discover word combinations that make interesting aliases.
Vocabulary practice
Study which words can be formed from common letter sets — a useful training exercise for competitive Scrabble players looking to expand their playable word knowledge.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an anagram? ▼
An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. For example, "listen" is an anagram of "silent", and "astronomer" is an anagram of "moon starer". Every letter from the original word is used exactly once in the new word or phrase.
How does an anagram solver work? ▼
An anagram solver takes your input letters, sorts them into a letter-frequency map, then checks every word in a dictionary to see if that word uses the same set of letters. Words that match are returned as valid anagrams. This tool runs the entire check inside your browser using JavaScript — no data is sent to any server.
What are anagrams used for? ▼
Anagrams are used in word games like Scrabble and Words With Friends, crossword puzzle solving, and creative writing. Many authors have used anagrams of their real name as pen names — for example, "Jim Morrison" rearranges to "Mr. Mojo Risin'". In linguistics, anagrams are also studied for word relationships and letter patterns.
Is this anagram solver free? ▼
Yes, completely free. The 370,000+ word dictionary loads once into your browser's memory and all calculations happen client-side. No account is required, there are no search limits, and no data is ever sent to a server.
Can I use this for Scrabble or Words With Friends? ▼
Yes. Enter all your available tile letters and the solver finds every valid word you can form. Use the minimum length filter to focus on high-scoring longer words, or enable the exact-match toggle to find words that use all your letters — useful for earning the Scrabble bingo bonus worth 50 extra points.
How many words are in the dictionary? ▼
