Tips & Guides

Useful explanations, starting with getting more from the Word Unscrambler.

Start with the letters you actually have

A repeated letter needs a repeated tile. To make APPLE, you need two Ps. Letter order does not matter.

Use a wildcard for a missing tile

Use ? or * to stand for one letter. You can use up to two blank tiles. A blank can also represent an accented letter.

Make filters work for you

Use starts with, ends with or contains when you know part of a word. Set a length range to reduce the list. Exact anagram mode uses every tile.

Check your game’s rules

Our dictionaries are general spelling lists. A result is not a guarantee that a particular game accepts that word. English letter scores exclude board bonuses, and a blank tile contributes zero points.
