How to unscramble letters into words
Type the letters you have into the box, in any order, and press Unscramble. You get every valid word that can be spelled with those letters, grouped by length. Each letter can be used only as often as you typed it, and words don’t have to use all of your letters.
- Blank tiles: add a ? for each blank or wildcard, up to two. Words that need a blank are outlined with a dashed border, and their score leaves out the blank’s points.
- Filters: narrow the list to words that start with, end with or contain certain letters, or to one exact length. This is handy when part of a word is already fixed on the board.
- Scores: the small number next to each word is its tile value using standard letter points, before any bonus squares.
Common words first, not just long ones
Most unscramblers list words alphabetically, so the one you want ends up among entries nobody uses. Here, words of the same length are ranked by how often they appear in real-world English. For the letters RTAESG you see greats , grates and stager before targes . Add one blank and largest , storage and strange lead the seven-letter list.
Tips for word games and puzzles
Look for common endings
If your letters include an S, look at words ending in -S, -ES or -ERS first. With E and D, try -ED, and with I, N and G try -ING. Filter by “Ends with” to see only those words.
Don’t overlook short words
Two- and three-letter words such as XI , XU , JO , QAT and ZAX let you place a high-value tile on a bonus square without opening the board. They’re at the bottom of every results list.
Unscrambling vs. anagrams
An anagram uses every letter exactly once, while unscrambling finds words from any of them. For newspaper jumbles you usually want the full anagram; for Scrabble-style games the shorter words are often the better play.
