Anagram Solver

About this tool

The Anagram Solver looks for exact anagrams of the letters you type: words that use every one of your letters, each exactly as many times as it appears. Letters are lowercased and anything that is not a-z, such as spaces and punctuation, is ignored. Matches come from a small built-in list of about 270 common short English words, so results exist only for a handful of letter sets — for example race gives acre and care, male gives lame and meal, and cat gives act. Your own input word is left out of the results. Longer words, names and phrases (listen, computer) usually return no anagrams because the list does not contain them, and words that use only some of your letters are never shown. Results show the number of anagrams found and the number of letters used, and Copy Results copies them as a comma-separated list. Everything runs in your browser.

Why use it

• Shows exact anagrams that use all of your letters, nothing partial.

• Results are sorted by length (longest first) for quick scanning.

• Entirely browser-based — fast lookups with no server required.

• Ignores spaces, punctuation and case when pooling letters.

• Copy Results gives you the matches as a comma-separated list.

How to use

1. Enter a word or jumbled letters into the 'Enter letters or word' field.
2. Click Find Anagrams or press Enter.
3. Read the Anagrams found and Letters used counts.
4. Review the matching words, longest first and then alphabetical.
5. Click Copy Results to copy the list, separated by commas.

When it helps

• Checking whether a short common word has a simple anagram, like race and care.
• Making quick classroom examples of anagram pairs.
• Confirming that two short words use exactly the same letters.
• Finding a rearranged short word for a simple word game.

Examples

Tips

• Short everyday words (3–4 letters) are the only inputs likely to return results.
• Enter the letters in any order: ealm and mlae both return lame, male and meal.
• Words that use only some of your letters are not shown, so type exactly the letters you want to use.
• If you get no results, the word list simply has no match; check a full dictionary for longer words.
