About

Word Unscrambler finds every word that can be made from a set of letters. Type your letters, or upload a screenshot of the game and let it read the tiles for you.

The dictionary

Results come from the ENABLE word list — 168,551 words of two to fifteen letters, and the lexicon most English word games are built on. It is in the public domain. A word appearing here does not guarantee your particular game will accept it: individual titles add and remove entries, and proper nouns are excluded throughout.

The definitions

Tap any result to see what it means. The definitions come from English Wiktionary, which covers about 95% of the ENABLE list — including the short, strange, high-scoring words that are the whole reason to look one up. Where a word is a plural or a variant spelling, the entry it points at is shown too, since “plural of zoon” answers nothing on its own.

Wiktionary text is used and redistributed here under CC BY-SA 4.0. Each definition links back to its entry, where the full set of senses lives — what you see here is only the first one, shortened to a line.

How the solver works

The word list is grouped by length, so a rack of seven letters only ever examines words of seven letters or fewer. Each candidate is checked by counting letters rather than rearranging them, which is what makes results appear as you type instead of after a wait. A ? stands in for a blank or a tile you cannot read.

All of it runs in your browser. The dictionary is downloaded once and searched on your own device, so your letters are never sent anywhere.

Reading screenshots

Reading a whole screenshot at once works poorly, because text recognition expects words and sentences while word games show single letters scattered across tiles. So the image is first split into individual letter shapes, and each is recognised on its own.

The result lands in an editable box on purpose. Recognition on real game artwork — decorative fonts, gradients, busy backgrounds — is imperfect, and correcting one letter is a far better outcome than silently solving the wrong rack.

Privacy

Letters and screenshots stay on your device. The site is supported by advertising; the Privacy Policy sets out what that involves.
