How to use the Word Unscrambler
Type your letters in the box and tap Unscramble. WordWiz checks every word in its 172,000-word dictionary and lists the ones you can spell, grouped by length from longest to shortest. Use ? or * for a blank tile, and open Advanced options to only show words that start with, end with or contain certain letters.
Tips for unscrambling words
Stuck on a jumble? Start by looking for common letter pairs and endings. Letters like S, ED, ING, ER and LY often belong at the end of a word, while TH, CH, SH and QU usually stay together. Moving those pieces aside makes the rest of the puzzle much easier to see.
If you only need the longest word, check the top group of results first. If you are playing a word game, switch to By score to see which word is worth the most points. Want words that fit a gap on the board? Open Advanced options and use Starts with, Ends with or Contains to match the letters already in place.
