Word unscrambler

How to use it

Find words without using letters you do not have

1. Enter the available letters, repeating a letter when it may be used more than once, and add ? for each single-letter wildcard.
2. Set minimum length or begins-with, contains and ends-with filters to narrow a large result set.
3. Search, review the eligible words by length and show more only when the first results are not enough.

Worked example

What a result means

Letters care can form acre, care and race because each uses only the supplied counts. Adding ? permits one missing letter, but two missing letters would require two wildcards.

Assumptions

Check the eligible input

Results come from a general historical public-domain English list. A matching word is not a guarantee of acceptance in any named game, classroom or tournament.

Selection method

How this tool chooses

A Web Worker compares letter multiplicities and wildcard requirements against the local list. Pattern and length filters run before the bounded visible result set is returned.

Inputs and optional saved data remain in this browser until you remove them.
