About Solve A Word
Solve A Word is a free word unscrambler and word-list site built for players of Scrabble, Words With Friends, Wordle, Wordscapes, and other word games. We built it because a lot of unscramblers are slow, buried in ads, and hide their useful bits behind menus. This one is fast, plain, and gives you the score on every word.
What Makes Us Different
- Speed: Our dictionary runs entirely in your browser. No server requests, no waiting. Results appear in under 50 milliseconds.
- Complete dictionary: We use the full SOWPODS word list with 267,751 valid English words, the same dictionary used in international Scrabble tournaments.
- Points built in: Every result shows Scrabble and Words With Friends point values so you can pick the highest-scoring word instantly.
- Definitions on tap: Click any word to see its definition, part of speech, and game points. Learn while you play.
- Filters visible by default: Filter by starting letters, ending letters, or exact word length without hunting through menus.
- No sign-up, no tracking: Use the tool as many times as you want. We don't require an account or store your searches.
Our Dictionary
The SOWPODS word list is maintained by the World English-Language Scrabble Players Association (WESPA) and combines the North American TWL (Tournament Word List) with the international Collins Scrabble Words dictionary. It is the most comprehensive English word list available for word games.
How the Unscrambler Works
When you enter letters, our algorithm sorts them alphabetically and checks all possible subsets against a pre-indexed hash map of the dictionary. This approach finds every valid word without needing to try millions of random combinations. The result is instant, typically completing in 10-40ms even on mobile devices.
Wildcard characters (? or *) represent blank tiles. When wildcards are present, the algorithm checks each dictionary word to see if the deficit between needed letters and available letters fits within the wildcard count.
Accuracy
Every word in our results is verified against the official SOWPODS dictionary. We do not include slang, abbreviations, or words that would be challenged in competitive play. Point calculations use the standard tile values for both Scrabble and Words With Friends.
Privacy
We don't track what you search. The unscrambling happens entirely in your browser, so your letters are never sent to our servers. See our privacy policy for how we handle cookies and analytics.
