How does the Word Unscramble work?

The Word Unscramble was created to help you to unscramble words and characters using algorithms. For this purpose, the Word Unscramble uses a database with millions of words and filters out the matching words. The words are sorted by the length of the word-characters, as well as your individual settings. For example, with which letters the unscramble words should begin or end. Which characters must appear within the unscramble words, how long or short the words should be. For the worldwide popular games Scrabble and Words With Friends, the total score is calculated for each unscramble word. You have also the option to select the total score for the unscramble words for the word game Scrabble or Words With Friends.

The Word Unscramble works not only for the above games. Use the tool to unscramble words and characters for all word games, crosswords and more. Most of these games follow the same rules, so you can use the unscramble words for them.

The most important information such as the score in the popular games Scrabble and Words With Friends, number of unscramble words, similar words, words containing your keyword as well as the unscramble words sorted by their top score from the two games and much more are clearly displayed on the right side from our site word-unscramble.com.

You have the possibility to click on the keyword you entered, as well as on the unscramble words and all other words (similar words etc.) to get more detailed information about the word. The information would include the word definition (if it is available), detailed score of the single letter tiles and much more.

You probably know it. In the crossword puzzle they are still missing the right word to complete the line. There are only a few letters given, but you can't find the word with them either. Simply enter the existing letters in the Word Unscramble and select the character length, which has the field in the crossword puzzle. If available, you can also enter a string of characters that the word must contain. By clicking on the button "Unscramble", you will be able to unscramble the matching words.

You can unscramble words/letter sequence up to a character length of 20 characters. If the Word Unscramble has no result, check your letters, shorten the character length if necessary or check if you have set something in the advanced filter options.

Optional settings of the Word Unscramble

You have the possibility to make optional settings in the Word Unscramble form to refine the results. To open the settings, simply click the "More Options" button. This will open a field with the settings. Here you have the option to set with which characters the unscrambled words should begin or end.

In addition, you have the possibility to enter single letters or a sequence of letters that the unscramble words must contain. As an example, you enter the letters "ung" in the "Letter contains" field. The unscramble words can be hungary, sunglasses or hung. As you can see, it doesn't matter whether the characters "ung" appear at the beginning, middle or end of the word. To make your search more precise, you can combine the filter "Letter contains" with "Starts with" and "Ends with".

Another option is to specify the length of the words. In the "Letter length" field "All lenght" is selected by default. This means that the Word Unscramble will unscramble words with different lengths based on your input. You can set the option if you want to have words "Greater", "Smaller" or "Exact" of a number size. You enter the number in the "Number" field. You can also combine the "Letter length" with the above options.

The last optional setting refers to the points calculated for the games Scrabble and Words with Friends. On the unscramble words you will find a small number, that is the points you get for the whole word. Since the distribution of points per letter is different in the two games, you have the option to choose for which game the points are calculated. By default the points are calculated for Scrabble.
