How the Anagram Solver Works
Enter between 2 and 12 letters in any order. The solver compares their counts against the matching length shards in our general English word list. Exact anagrams appear first because they use every letter: LISTEN, for example, can become SILENT. When shorter words are enabled, results that leave letters unused appear separately and are grouped from longest to shortest.
Wildcards and Repeated Letters
Letter counts matter. One E cannot make a word containing two Es unless the entered letters also include a wildcard. Add one question mark or asterisk for each unknown letter. A wildcard supplies one letter but does not add an extra character, so a seven-character entry still produces seven-letter exact anagrams.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an exact anagram?
An exact anagram uses every entered letter exactly once, only changing their order. A wildcard can replace one missing letter.
Can the solver find shorter words?
Yes. Keep Include shorter words selected to see every word that can be built from some of your letters, grouped by length below the exact matches.
Can I enter an unknown letter?
Yes. Enter a question mark or asterisk for each unknown letter. Each wildcard can stand for one letter.
