Staring at a rack of letters that refuses to become a word is the most frustrating moment in any word game. This free Word Unscrambler ends it: type in up to 12 letters, use ? for a blank tile, and it instantly finds every word those letters can make — grouped by length, with the highest Scrabble scores first. It runs entirely in your browser against our 359,039-word list, so your letters are never uploaded anywhere.
How the Word Unscrambler works
The tool treats your letters as a multiset — a bag of tiles where duplicates matter. For every word in the list it checks whether the word’s letters can be covered by your tiles: each letter consumes one matching tile, and any letter left over consumes one of your blank (?) tiles instead. If a word needs more blanks than you have, it is rejected. Survivors are scored with standard Scrabble letter values (Q and Z at 10, J and X at 8, vowels at 1), with blank-covered letters scoring zero, exactly as on a real board. Results are sorted longest first and, within each length, by score — because in most games the longest, highest-scoring word is the one you want.
How to use it
Type your letters into the box — order does not matter. Add a ? for each blank tile you hold (Scrabble and Words With Friends give you at most two). Press Unscramble and scan the groups: the longest words sit at the top. If you only care about one game, use the length menu — set it to 5 for Wordle-length answers, or leave it on any length for open racks. Press Enter to run a new search without reaching for the mouse.
A worked example
Enter listen and the tool returns 156 words. The six-letter group is the interesting one: listen, silent, enlist, inlets and tinsel are all perfect anagrams of each other, each worth 6 points before board multipliers. Below them sit useful five-letter plays like tiles and stein, and a tail of short words — tin, tie, sin, lit — that are exactly what you need when the board is nearly closed. Enter rainbow and you get 189 words, topped by rainbow itself at 12 points.
Using it for Scrabble and Words With Friends
Three habits separate strong players from stuck ones, and this tool supports all three. First, hunt bingos: if you hold seven tiles, enter all seven and look at the 7-letter group — playing every tile earns the 50-point bonus. Second, respect your blanks: a blank spent on a 12-point word is usually wasted, so check what your rack makes without the ? before you commit it. Third, dump bad racks profitably: when your letters are all vowels or all consonants, the short-word groups show the best exchange-avoiding play available. The score shown is the raw tile total; board multipliers (double and triple letter/word squares) still apply on top, and spotting those squares is your job, not the tool’s.
Using it for Wordle
Wordle gives you information one row at a time. Once a guess confirms some letters, enter them, add a ? for each position you have not pinned down, and set the length filter to 5. The five-letter group is then your candidate pool — every word that fits what you know. It will not tell you which candidate is most likely, but it stops you wasting a guess on a word that cannot be the answer.
Limitations worth knowing
Our list is a broad English word list, deliberately wider than any single game’s dictionary. That means a few rare, technical or archaic entries appear here that official Scrabble dictionaries (CSW or NASPA) and Wordle’s answer list do not accept — if a word looks too strange to be real, check it against your game’s dictionary before you play it. The tool also does not know definitions, cannot use more than 12 letters, and scores are tile values only: it cannot see the board, so premium squares and parallel-word points are not included.
Word Unscrambler – frequently asked questions
Is this word unscrambler free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up. It runs in your browser, and there is no limit on how many racks you can unscramble.
How do blank tiles work?
Type ? in place of a blank tile. The tool treats it as any letter, and words that need the blank show that letter scoring 0 points, matching real Scrabble and Words With Friends rules.
Are the words valid in Scrabble?
Most are, but our 359,039-word list is broader than the official game dictionaries, so a small number of obscure entries will not be accepted in tournament Scrabble play. Common words are always safe; unusual ones are worth a quick check.
Does it work for Wordle?
Yes. Enter the letters you have confirmed, use ? for unknown positions, and set the length filter to 5 letters to see every candidate that fits your grid.
