Anagram
How it works
-
1
Enter a word in capital letters, without accents.
-
2
Run the search: the number of letters and whether the word exists in the dictionary are shown.
-
3
The word's anagrams (same length, same letters) appear first.
-
4
Then come all the other words that can be made with these letters, from longest to shortest.
What is an anagram?
An anagram is a word (or phrase) formed by rearranging all the letters of another word, without adding or removing any. For example, "listen" and "silent" are anagrams of each other. Beyond the game itself, looking for anagrams helps you visualize possible letter combinations - a useful reflex in Scrabble and in crossword-style puzzles, where quickly spotting that a group of letters forms another word helps unlock a grid.
How to search well
- Spot the rare letters in your word first (J, Q, X, Z...): they sharply limit the possibilities and guide the search.
- Exact anagrams (using every letter) are rarer than sub-words (using only some letters): the tool shows you both.
- A word of 8 letters or more often has few, if any, exact anagrams, but many useful sub-words.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an anagram and a sub-word?
An anagram uses every letter of the starting word. A sub-word only uses some of them.
Does the tool also find definitions?
