Unscramble letters into valid words instantly. Enter your letters with optional wildcards to find every possible word, sorted by length and Scrabble score.
Enter your letters and get every valid word you can make from them, grouped by length and scored with standard Scrabble tile values. Wildcards, prefix, suffix and contains filters let you narrow results to the play you actually need.
The naive approach - generating every permutation of your letters and checking each one - is hopeless. Seven letters produce 5,040 permutations, but ten produce 3.6 million, and you would still need to check every shorter subset too.
The fast method inverts the problem. Sorting a word's letters produces a canonical key that is identical for all its anagrams: listen, silent and enlist all become eilnst. Build that index once and every lookup is a single hash-map hit. The tool then only needs to check the subsets of your rack - 128 of them for seven letters - rather than millions of orderings.
Alfred Butts set the tile values in the 1930s by counting letter frequencies on the front page of the New York Times. Common letters got one point, rare ones got ten. The distribution has barely changed since, which is why S is only worth one point despite being enormously useful, and why holding a Q without a U is such a familiar frustration.

Every word is indexed by its letters sorted alphabetically, so 'listen' and 'silent' share the key 'eilnst'. The tool generates every subset of your letters, sorts each one, and looks it up in that index. This finds all valid words instantly instead of testing permutations one at a time.
A question mark represents a blank tile that can be any letter. The tool tries all 26 possibilities in that position. You can use more than one, though each additional wildcard multiplies the search space, so results take slightly longer.
That is the Scrabble score for the word using standard English tile values, before any board multipliers. Q and Z are worth 10, J and X are worth 8, and vowels are worth 1. Board bonuses like double word score are not included.
No. It uses a large open English word list. It covers far more words than the official tournament lists in some places and fewer in others, particularly for very recent additions. Treat it as a solving aid rather than a rules authority.
No. The word list is downloaded once to your browser and every search runs locally on your device. Nothing you type is transmitted or stored anywhere.
The tool finds every word you can make from any combination of your letters, not just words that use all of them. Use the minimum length filter to hide short words if you only care about longer plays.
