Word Finder: Unscramble Letters Into Words
Staring at a jumble of letters? Our free word finder takes your tiles and instantly shows every word they can spell, checked against five real dictionaries and sorted longest-first. Narrow results by length or pattern, or rule out dead letters with Exclude. Built for Scrabble, Words With Friends, Wordle, and crossword puzzles. Then scroll down for spoiler-safe daily puzzle hints and carefully checked answers for Wordle, Connections, NYT Strands, Pips, Quordle, and Octordle, refreshed every morning.
Type your letters above and hit Find words.
What is a word finder?
It does exactly what it sounds like: you give it your letters, and it gives you back every word those letters can spell. Anagram solver, unscrambler, word finder, call it whatever you like. The moment you need one, you know it. Seven Scrabble tiles and nothing looks playable. The newspaper jumble staring back at you over coffee. Your Words With Friends rival just dropped a 40-point word and you need an answer now.
Ours checks your letters against five real dictionaries, and it respects your duplicates. Type two E's and you will only see words you can actually build with two E's. No phantom words, no illegal plays. Results come back longest-first, grouped by length, so the highest-scoring options are the first thing you see.
Different sites call it different things: anagram solver, unscrambler, word descrambler. They all do the same job. Ours just does it with one extra trick most of them skip: the Exclude filter, which throws out every word containing letters you have already ruled out.
How to use it
- Pick the dictionary that matches your game. US Scrabble? Choose Scrabble US. UK or international play? Scrabble UK. Words With Friends runs on its own word list, which is not the same as Scrabble's, so matching the dictionary genuinely matters. The NYT Crossplay list is our closest approximation for Wordle-style practice, since the NYT does not publish its exact list.
- Type up to 12 letters. Straight from your rack, your tiles, or a scrambled clue. Try RSTLNEA: you get back more than 200 words, from two-letter fillers like er and an all the way up to seven-letter scores like alerts and antler.
- Filter it down. Know the word has to be exactly five letters? Set the length. Know it starts with S? There is a box for that. You can pin down starts-with, ends-with, and contains, and then there is exclude: type the letters you have ruled out and watch them vanish from the results. Most word finders, even the big ones, do not offer that.
- Hit Find words and play your pick. Stuck on Wordle instead? The Wordle Helper further down works in reverse: feed it the colors of the tiles you have already played and it narrows the possible answers.
Which dictionary should you pick?
Five lists sounds like overkill until a word gets challenged. Here is the short version:
- Scrabble US. The NASPA word list used in American tournament and club play. Pick this for Scrabble games in the US and Canada.
- Scrabble UK. The Collins list used internationally. It allows quite a few words the US list does not, so UK players should search here.
- Words With Friends. Zynga's own list. It differs from both Scrabble lists, which is exactly why challenges get heated. Match the list to the app you are playing.
- NYT Crossplay (approx.). Our closest approximation of Wordle-style answers, built for practice rounds. The NYT does not publish its exact list, so treat this as a training ground, not gospel.
- All Dictionaries. Everything at once, for jumbles, crosswords, and anagrams where no official list applies.
Rule of thumb: when points or pride are on the line, search the list your game actually uses. For everything else, All Dictionaries is the fastest way to brainstorm.
Where it actually helps
- Scrabble night. Family game, everyone waiting on you, a rack full of consonants. Find the bingo, play all seven tiles, take the 50-point bonus, enjoy the silence.
- Words With Friends rematches. A word that is legal here can be illegal in Scrabble, and challenges are decided by the dictionary. Search with the WWF list and stop losing on technicalities.
- Crossword puzzles. You know it is seven letters and the third one is A. Set the length, add what you know, and browse everything that fits the slot instead of guessing.
- Wordle warm-ups. Explore what your letters could become on the Crossplay-style list before you spend a real guess.
- Jumbles and anagrams. The daily newspaper jumble, puzzle books, party games. Scrambled in, solved out.
Three habits of people who win with it
- Exclude first, browse second. Type your dead letters into Exclude and a list of 200 becomes a list of 12. That single step is the difference between scrolling and deciding.
- Match the dictionary to the game. When points or pride are on the line, check legality against the right list, not just any list.
- Start at the top. Results are longest-first because longer usually means more points. Your best play is almost always in the first screenful.

Wordle Helper: find words from your letters
Stuck mid-game? Punch in your correct, misplaced, and ruled-out letters and get every possible answer that still fits.
Enter your letters above and hit Find words.
Hints you can actually rely on
Anyone can post an answer. Here's what makes a hints page worth bookmarking.
Checked before it's published
Every answer is confirmed against the game's official source before the page goes live. If something can't be confirmed, the update waits. We'd genuinely rather be late than wrong.
Spoiler-safe by design
Hints come first, gentle to strong. The answer stays tucked behind a clear reveal button. You'll never see it unless you tap it yourself.
Fresh wording, every day
Every game page gets brand-new hints daily. Put yesterday's page next to today's and they never read the same twice. No recycled templates, no copy-paste phrasing.
Independent and honest
We're not affiliated with the NYT or any game maker. Just puzzle fans who take accuracy seriously. Nobody tells us what to write.
Get to know the games
New to one of these? Here's what each game actually asks of you, plus one practical tip our hints are built around.
Wordle
The one that started it all: six tries to guess a five-letter word, with tiles that light up to show what's right, what's misplaced, and what's wrong. Our hints walk you from the word's general neighborhood (what kind of thing it is) right down to its letter pattern. Stuck after guess three? The vowel-and-pattern hints usually crack it.
NYT Connections
Sixteen words, four secret groups of four, and at least one really sneaky red herring. Connections is about spotting the theme before the trap does. Our hints nudge you toward each category's idea, starting vague and getting specific, without ever naming the group outright. Pro move: lock in the most obvious group first and save the wordplay category for last.
Strands
A word search with a twist: every word on the board connects to one hidden theme, plus a spangram that stretches clean across the grid. Our hints begin with the theme itself, then point you toward the corners of the board where theme words hide, and the spangram gets its own dedicated hint. Find the spangram first and the rest of the board opens up.
Spelling Bee
Seven letters, one required center letter, and as many words as you can build, with pangram glory if you use all seven. Our hints suggest directions to explore and tell you how many pangrams exist, so you always know what you're hunting for. Tip: chase pangrams first; they're worth the most and often unlock the rest.
Pips
A domino-style logic puzzle where every placement has to satisfy its neighbors. Our hints walk you through the deduction chain (which piece locks in first, and why) so you learn the logic behind the layout, not just the final arrangement.
Quordle
Wordle times four, with nine shared guesses spread across four boards. Strategy matters more than vocabulary here. Our hints track each board's state separately, and one tip shows up constantly: burn an early guess on pure letter coverage, like a word stuffed with common consonants, before you start solving any single board.
Octordle
Quordle's bigger sibling: eight boards, thirteen guesses, and pure chaos if you don't plan ahead. Our hints follow all eight words and teach the sequencing tricks: clear the nearly-solved boards first, so every remaining guess pulls maximum information out of the hard ones.
Hints that respect your solve
Nobody likes having a puzzle ruined. Here's how we keep the fun in your hands.
Start with a nudge
Hint one is deliberately gentle: a small push, like the category of the word or the general shape of the puzzle. Honestly, that's often all it takes to shake a new idea loose.
Climb the ladder
Each hint gets a little stronger, in order: letter patterns, vowel counts, starting letters. Stop reading the moment something clicks. That's the whole point.
Peek only if you must
Still stuck? The answer waits behind a clearly-marked reveal button at the bottom of the page, with a short explanation of why it's right, so even a peek teaches you something.

Frequently asked questions
How does the word finder work?
Type up to 12 letters into the box, pick the dictionary that matches your game, and hit Find words. The tool checks your letters against every word in that dictionary and lists what they can spell, longest first. Filters for exact length, starts-with, ends-with, contains, and excluded letters help you zero in on the right play fast.
Is the word finder free to use?
Yes, completely free: no sign-up, no limits. Search as often as you like. Everything runs right in your browser, so your letters never leave your device and results show up instantly. It works on phones, tablets, and desktops, and there's nothing to install.
How do spoiler-safe hints work?
Each game page offers a ladder of hints, ordered from a gentle nudge to a much stronger clue. Read them one at a time and stop the moment something clicks. That's the whole idea. The actual answer sits behind a clearly marked reveal button at the bottom, so you'll never stumble onto it by accident while reading.
When are hints updated each day?
Every game page refreshes daily around its puzzle reset, following US Eastern Time, so the new hints are waiting when morning solvers in the US wake up. Each page shows its update date up top. And if an answer can't be confirmed in time, the page waits. We'd rather update late than publish a guess.
Are your answers verified?
Yes. Every answer is confirmed against the game's official source before it goes live, and if verification fails for any reason, that day's update waits. Nothing is ever published on a guess, no matter how confident a hint might sound. Accuracy is the whole point of this site, so we'd rather be late than wrong.
Is SolveDaily affiliated with the NYT?
No. SolveDaily is an independent site run by puzzle fans. We're not affiliated with or endorsed by The New York Times or any other game maker, and all game names belong to their respective owners. We write original hints, check answers carefully, and nobody tells us what to publish.
How is this different from just looking up the answer?
Looking up the answer ends the puzzle; our hints keep it alive. Each game page gives you clues that start gentle and get stronger, so you can stop the moment something clicks and still feel the win. The answer waits as a last resort, with a short explanation, so even a peek teaches you something.
Do you cover past puzzles too?
Yes. Every game page keeps a running list of recent answers below the hints, tucked behind tap-to-reveal controls so nothing spoils your current solve. It's handy if you missed a day, want to settle a debate about a past word, or just like checking whether a favorite answer has already appeared.
That's the whole idea behind SolveDaily: a free word finder for your toughest letter jumbles, daily puzzle hints that respect your solve, verified answers when you need them, and zero spoilers along the way. Bookmark this page. Unscramble your letters, pick your game each morning, and keep that streak alive.
