Anagram Solver

What the anagram solver does

An anagram uses every letter of the original exactly once – listen becomes silent, and night owl becomes now light. The anagram solver checks your letters against our dictionary of about 171,000 English words and shows every single-word anagram. In multi-word mode, it also builds phrases of two or three words that use all of your letters.

How to use the anagram solver

1. Type your word, name or phrase. Use up to 15 letters. Only the letters count, so you can leave out spaces and punctuation.
2. Choose single words or multi-word anagrams. Single words shows exact one-word anagrams. Multi-word splits your letters into two or three real words.
3. Search. Your anagrams appear in a list. To keep things fast, the solver shows up to 500 results.
4. Copy what you like. Tap a result to copy it, or open a word's three-dot menu for its definition and more.

Anagram solver for two words, phrases and names

Single-word anagrams are neat, but longer inputs really shine in multi-word mode. Your letters get split into two or three words that use every letter exactly once. Expect some results to be silly – that's half the fun – and a few to be surprisingly fitting.

Names work the same way. Type a first name, a full name or a nickname (up to 15 letters) and see what it spells when the letters are shuffled. Names rarely have a one-word anagram, so multi-word mode is where the good finds are.

Ways to use the anagram solver

Puzzles and crosswords

Some crossword clues are anagrams in disguise: a word in the clue is mixed up to give the answer. Type those letters here to see every word they can make.

Word games

In games where you rearrange letters, an anagram list shows every full-length word your letters can make. For shorter words too, use the word unscrambler.

Usernames and character names

Rearrange your name or a favorite word to find a username, a gamer tag or a character name with a hidden meaning only you know.

Classroom wordplay

Anagrams are a great way to talk about spelling and letter patterns. Give students a word like garden and see who finds danger, gander and ranged first.

Writing

Poets and puzzle makers use anagrams for titles, hidden messages and riddles. Multi-word mode gives you plenty of raw material to play with.

Tips

• Start simple. listen gives silent, enlist, tinsel and inlets. wolf gives flow and fowl.
• No results? Not every word has an anagram. Check the spelling, or try multi-word mode.
• Too many results? Long phrases can be split in a huge number of ways, and the list stops at 500. A shorter input gives a more complete list.
• Want every possible word, not just full anagrams? Use the word unscrambler or the word generator from letters, which also show shorter words.
• Making a puzzle? The word scramble generator mixes up words for you and never leaves a scramble that spells another real word.
• Same forwards and backwards? That's a palindrome, not an anagram – see our list of palindromes.
