Unjumble any word scramble

Stuck on a scrambled word in a puzzle book, a worksheet or a newspaper? Type the mixed-up letters in and the solver rebuilds them into real words, checking against a dictionary of 281,649 words. It searches every arrangement for you, so a jumble that looks like nonsense resolves in an instant — no pencil, no guessing, no rearranging tiles by hand.

Longest word first

Most scramble puzzles have a single intended solution, and it is almost always the word that uses all your letters. That is why results are sorted with the longest word at the top: scan the first row and you have usually found the answer. The shorter words below are still useful for puzzles that ask you to make as many words as possible from one set of letters.

Use ? for a letter you can't read

If a tile is smudged or a square in the puzzle is blank, type a ? (or *) in its place. The solver treats it as a wildcard that stands in for any letter, then shows you the words that fit. Two well-placed wildcards can crack a scramble even when a couple of letters are missing entirely.

Narrow it down with filters

When a set of letters produces a wall of results, the filters cut it down quickly. Set the exact length you need, or use starts with and ends with if the puzzle hints at a first or last letter. The Pattern tab is ideal here — lock in the letters you are sure of and leave the rest as ? to reveal only the words that match.

Scramble solver vs anagram solver

A scramble solver and an anagram solver do closely related jobs. An anagram, strictly, rearranges every letter into a new word or phrase; a scramble just needs the one hidden answer. If you want playful rearrangements of a word or name, try the anagram generator. Chasing the daily newspaper puzzle instead? The Jumble solver and the general word unscrambler are built for exactly that.
