What it does
Type in a word or a string of letters and this tool finds every anagram — words that use exactly the same letters, rearranged. Switch to multi-word mode to find two- and three-word phrases that are perfect anagrams of your input. Every result includes its Scrabble point value so you can spot the highest-scoring options at a glance.
How it works
Each word in the dictionary is stored with a "fingerprint" — its letters sorted into alphabetical order. Two words are anagrams of each other when their fingerprints match. For single-word lookups, the tool sorts your input and does one indexed database lookup.
eilnst → exact match → ENLIST, INLETS, LISTEN, SILENT, TINSELMulti-word mode works harder: it finds every word whose letters are a subset of yours, then searches for combinations of two or three words that together account for every letter exactly once. The search is time-bounded to stay fast.
Scrabble scoring
Each letter carries its standard Scrabble tile value (e.g. Q = 10, Z = 10, X = 8, J = 8, K = 5) and the displayed score is the sum across all letters in the result. Board multipliers are not included — the score reflects raw tile value only.
Worked example
The letters listen produce 6 single-word anagrams: ENLIST (6 pts), INLETS (6 pts), LISTEN (6 pts), SILENT (6 pts), SLINTE (6 pts), TINSEL (6 pts).
In multi-word mode, traces yields combinations such as ACE + STR, ACE + TRS, ACT + ERS.
Common uses
- Word games: find valid anagrams of rack letters in Scrabble or Words With Friends, sorted by point value.
- Puzzles and quizzes: crack anagram clues in newspaper puzzles, pub quizzes and TV game shows.
- Creative writing: discover anagram pen names, band names or wordplay for titles and headlines.
Frequently asked
What is the difference between this and the Word Unscrambler?
The unscrambler shows every word you can make from your letters, including shorter words that use only some of them. The anagram solver only shows words (or word combinations) that use all of your letters — a stricter match.
How many letters can I enter?
Up to 20 letters in single-word mode, or 15 in multi-word mode. Multi-word searches are more computationally intensive, so the lower cap keeps results fast.
Are Scrabble scores exact?
They reflect standard English-language tile values. The score does not include board multipliers (double/triple letter or word squares), blanks, or game-specific bonuses — it is the raw sum of each letter's face value.
Is my input sent anywhere?
Your letters are looked up on our server (that is where the dictionary lives), but they are not stored, and nothing else about your query is kept.
