Word Unscrambler
Enter your rack of letters and the unscrambler lists every dictionary word you can build from them, grouped longest first, so you never miss the high-scoring play.
What this tool does
Unlike the anagram solver, which only finds words using all your letters, the unscrambler finds every dictionary word you can build from any subset of them. Enter aelrst and you get alerts, alter, later, stare, tears, rates, plus shorter words like ear, art and sea.
How it works
Each dictionary word is stored as a letter count (for example, letter is e:2, l:1, t:2, r:1). Your rack becomes a count the same way, and a word is playable when every one of its letter counts fits inside your rack's counts. Results are sorted longest first, which is exactly the order you want when hunting for the best Scrabble or Words With Friends play.
Worked example
With the rack dusty and minimum length 5, the unscrambler finds dusty and study (6 and 5 letters). Lower the minimum to 2 and shorter words like us, sty and dut appear too.
Limitations
The word list is a general dictionary of about 600 English words (250 for French, Spanish and Japanese), not an official Scrabble word list, so tournament legality is not guaranteed and blank tiles are not modeled. Results are capped at the 300 longest words to keep the page fast.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the unscrambler and the anagram solver?
The anagram solver only returns words that use all of your letters exactly. The unscrambler returns every word you can build from any subset of your letters, which is what you want for Scrabble racks.
Can I use this for Scrabble?
Yes for casual play: it finds the longest words your rack can make. It is not an official tournament word list, so check your game's dictionary for disputed words.
Does it handle blank tiles?
No. Blank tiles are wildcards and this tool matches exact letters only. Treat each blank as a letter you choose and run the tool once per guess.
Why set a minimum word length?
Short words flood the results. Raising the minimum to 4 or 5 keeps the list focused on the high-scoring plays.
Which languages are supported?
English, French, Spanish and Japanese. Switch the page language to change the dictionary; accents are ignored when matching.
