Word Unscrambler
Enter your tiles and see every word they can make, best score first — including the shorter words that fit when the seven-letter play will not.
Your data never leaves your browser. This tool runs entirely on your device.
Up to 15 tiles. Use ? for a blank.

How to use it
Type the letters on your rack and the results appear as you go. Words are ranked by tile value rather than by length, because a short word on a J or a Z usually beats a long one made of ones.
The filters narrow a long list to the play you actually need. "Starts with" and "Ends with" are how you hook a word onto a letter already on the board; "Contains" finds words that run through one.
- Enter a blank tile as ? — the tool works out which letter it should become.
- Tick "use every tile" when you want anagrams only, not shorter sub-words.
- Set an exact word length when you know the space you have to fill.
- Separators are ignored, so "c a t" and "c,a,t" both work.
How the scores are worked out
Each result shows the sum of its tile values using the standard English Scrabble distribution. A letter covered by one of your blanks is drawn dotted and scores zero, which is what makes a blank so expensive to spend on a one-point tile.
These are raw tile values. The board is where the rest of the score comes from: double and triple letter squares, double and triple word squares, and the 50-point bonus for playing all seven tiles in one turn — the bingo.
- 1 point — A, E, I, O, U, L, N, S, T, R
- 2 points — D, G
- 3 points — B, C, M, P
- 4 points — F, H, V, W, Y
- 5 points — K
- 8 points — J, X
- 10 points — Q, Z
Which dictionary this uses
Results come from ENABLE, a 168,551-word public-domain English word list maintained by Alan Beale and used by most open-source word games. It is filtered here to words of 2 to 15 letters, 15 being the length of a Scrabble board line.
Official tournament play uses a different list depending on where you are: TWL in North America, Collins elsewhere, and Words With Friends has its own. Those lists are copyrighted, so no free tool can ship them. ENABLE overlaps heavily with all of them but is not identical — a handful of words will differ at the edges, mostly obscure two- and three-letter ones.
Anagrams and sub-words
An anagram uses every letter you have. A word unscrambler is more useful in a real game because it also finds the shorter words hiding inside your rack — the ones you can actually fit on the board.
The six letters of LISTEN, for example, make 90 words in total, but only six of them use all six tiles. Tick "use every tile" to see just those; leave it off to see everything.
Nothing you type is uploaded
The word list is downloaded once, on your first search, and everything after that runs inside your browser. Your letters are never sent anywhere, and the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-game.
What a few racks turn up
| Letters | Result |
|---|---|
| listen | 90 words; 6 use all six tiles — silent, tinsel, enlist, inlets, listen, elints |
| friend | 59 words; finder, refind and redfin also use all six |
| quiz | Exactly one word — QUIZ, worth 22 points |
| aeinrst | 256 words, including eight seven-letter bingos such as retinas and nastier |
| rstlnea? | 2,827 words once the blank is allowed to become anything |
Frequently asked questions
How do I enter a blank tile?
Type a question mark for each blank you hold. The tool tries every letter it could stand for and shows the ones that make a word, drawn dotted because a blank always scores zero.
Are these words valid in Scrabble?
Almost always. This uses the ENABLE word list, which overlaps heavily with the official TWL and Collins lists but is not identical to either. If you are playing a tournament, check anything unusual against the list your event uses.
Does it work for Words With Friends?
The words do, for the most part. The scores do not: Words With Friends uses its own tile values and its own dictionary, so treat the points shown here as Scrabble points only.
Why is a word I know missing?
Word game dictionaries exclude proper nouns, abbreviations, hyphenated words and anything needing an apostrophe. The list also stops at 15 letters, since that is the longest word a Scrabble board can hold.
Will the score shown match what I get on the board?
Only on a bare square. The number here is the sum of the tile values, before any double or triple letter and word squares, and before the 50-point bonus for using all seven of your tiles in one go.
Are my letters sent to a server?
No. The dictionary is fetched once as a static file and every search after that runs in your browser. Nothing you type leaves the page, and there is no request made per search.
