Word Unscrambler

Paste the scramble. Get back every word those letters can spell, from the full-length answer down to the two-letter scraps.

Use ? or a space for a blank tile. Up to three.

How to use it

  1. 1
    Paste the scramble

    Exactly as it appears. Commas, spaces and capitals are all stripped for you.

  2. 2
    Look at the top group first

    If the puzzle scrambled a whole word, the answer is in the longest group — usually the only entry in it.

  3. 3
    Use the shorter groups for word games

    Games like Wordscapes and Word Cookies want every sub-word too, and those are the groups below.

Two different questions

"Unscramble this" usually means one of two things, and which one you mean changes where you should look in the results.

If you are solving a newspaper scramble or a spelling worksheet, the puzzle took one real word and shuffled it, so the answer uses every letter. That answer is in the top group. Nine times out of ten it is the only word in it, and you are done.

If you are playing a tile or wheel game, you want the sub-words too — every four-, five- and six-letter word those letters can also make. Those are the groups underneath, and they are usually where most of the points are hiding.

When the top group has several answers

Some letter sets genuinely spell more than one word. lspae is lapse, leaps, pales, peals, pleas, salep and sepal — seven of them. When that happens, the puzzle's other constraints decide: a crossword's crossing letters, a worksheet's picture clue, or the category the puzzle set at the top of the page.

Letters you do not know

Type a ? for any letter that is smudged, missing, or a blank tile. Up to three. The finder will try every letter of the alphabet in that slot.

Common questions

It found dozens of words. Which one is the answer?
For a scramble puzzle, the one in the longest group — a scramble is a real word with its letters shuffled, so the answer always uses all of them. The shorter groups are extra words those letters happen to make.
Can I unscramble a whole phrase?
Not as a phrase. Feed it one word at a time; the finder works on a single run of letters and does not split results across multiple words.
What if a letter is unreadable?
Replace it with a question mark. You get up to three, and each one is tried as every letter of the alphabet.
Why does it find words with fewer letters than I typed?
Because most word games want those too. If you only want the full-length answer, set the Length box to the number of letters you entered.
