Built for newspaper jumbles and puzzle apps
A daily jumble usually gives you five or six shuffled letters and one correct answer. Enter them here and the answer is almost always the top row — the longest word that uses your letters. When the puzzle has more than one valid solution, you will see them all and can pick the one that fits the clue.
What the results tell you
Results are grouped by word length with a count beside each heading, so you can see at a glance whether a six-letter answer even exists before you start reading. Within each group, higher-scoring words come first.
Tap a word to read what it means. Unfamiliar answers are common in puzzle jumbles, and a one-line definition is usually enough to tell you whether it fits the clue you are working from.
Blank or unreadable letters
If one letter in your puzzle is smudged or missing, type ? in its place. The tool treats it as a wildcard and shows every word that works with any letter in that position.

Common questions
Does the order of my letters matter?
Not at all. nteisl, listen and silent all produce the same results, because the tool only cares which letters you have and how many of each.
Can it handle a jumble with a repeated letter?
Yes. Letter counts are respected exactly — enter two E's and no answer will use three.
Why am I getting short words I did not ask for?
The unscrambler shows everything you can build, not just full-length answers. Use the length buttons above the results, or switch to the jumbled words page if you only want answers that use every letter.
Is my puzzle sent anywhere?
No. The dictionary downloads to your browser once and every search runs on your own device. Nothing is logged or transmitted.
