Anagram solver

Type a word or a jumble of letters. You get every word that uses all of them exactly once — a true anagram — and the words that are one letter short.

What counts as an anagram

An anagram rearranges every letter of the original exactly once — nothing added, nothing left over. LISTEN becomes SILENT, ENLIST and TINSEL. The tool sorts the letters of your word and finds every dictionary word with the same sorted letters, which is why it's instant.

Why it also shows words one letter shorter

Plenty of letter sets have no perfect anagram at all. The second group shows words that use all but one of your letters — often the answer when a puzzle has one letter that doesn't belong, or when you've mistyped.

Crosswords and cryptic clues

Anagram clues are a staple of cryptic crosswords, flagged by words like "mixed", "broken" or "confused". Enter the letters the clue gives you here. For puzzles where you know some letters' positions, use the word finder instead.
