Find true anagrams that use every letter, plus multi-word anagram phrases and blank-tile wildcards.
Enter a word or a set of letters, then press Find anagrams (or Enter).
An anagram is a word or phrase made by rearranging every letter of another one exactly once. Listen becomes silent, enlist, tinsel and inlets; dormitory becomes dirty room; the eyes becomes they see. This tool finds those rearrangements for you, including multi-word phrases for short inputs, and lets you narrow them down with starts-with, ends-with and must-contain filters.
Everything runs in your browser. Your letters are never uploaded, and there is nothing to sign up for.
Many sites blur two different questions. “Which words can I build from these letters?” accepts shorter words and leftover tiles. A true anagram uses all the letters, no more and no fewer. This tool answers the second question. If you want every shorter word hiding inside your letters, use the Word Unscrambler instead; the two tools are designed to be used together.
Every word in the dictionary is reduced to its letters in alphabetical order, so listen, silent, enlist and tinsel all become eilnst. Words that share that signature are anagrams of each other, which makes a single-word lookup instant. A blank tile simply tries each letter A to Z (or each pair for two blanks) and merges the matches; a small tag shows which letter the blank stood for. The word itself is not listed as an anagram of itself.
For phrases, the tool first keeps only the words whose letters fit inside yours, then looks for two or three of them whose letters add up exactly to your input. To stay readable and fast, phrase words must have at least three letters, the search stops after about 200 phrases or a couple of seconds, and the page tells you when it showed only the first results. The word list is ENABLE, a public-domain list of about 173,000 English words used in many word games. It includes plurals and some obscure entries and leaves out proper nouns, so it is not the official dictionary of any particular game.
