What Is an Anagram?

An anagram is a word or phrase made by rearranging all the letters of another word or phrase, using each letter exactly once. LISTEN and SILENT are anagrams of each other, as are EARTH and HEART - same letters, different order.

How to Use the Solver

1. Type in the letters you want to find anagrams from.
2. Use ? for any blank tile - spaces and punctuation are ignored automatically.
3. Open the filters if you want to set an exact word length, or a minimum and maximum length instead.
4. Choose whether to sort results alphabetically or by Scrabble point score.
5. Submit to see every valid word, grouped by length, with its point score shown alongside it.

Example

Entering the letters "T R A E S" returns words including RATES, TEARS, TARES, STARE, ASTER and RATE, TEAR, EATS, along with shorter matches such as ATE, EAT, and SAT - all grouped by length, from longest to shortest.

Practical Uses

Anagram solving is useful well beyond word games - checking whether a set of letters spells something before committing to a play, working through word puzzles that rely on letter rearrangement, or simply satisfying curiosity about whether a name or phrase hides another word inside it. The point-score sort is particularly useful if you're weighing up several valid options and want to see the highest-scoring one first.

Tips

• If your results list feels too long to scan, set a minimum length to filter out very short, common words.
• An exact-length filter is the fastest way to find anagrams of a whole word or phrase, rather than every shorter word hiding inside it too.
• Sorting by score rather than alphabetically can surface less obvious, higher-value words you might otherwise skip past.
