Anagram Solver

What is an anagram?

An anagram is a word or phrase made by rearranging every letter of another word or phrase exactly once, with nothing added or left out "listen" and "silent" are a classic example, as are "the eyes" and "they see." Anagram wordplay has a long history, from Greek and Hebrew scholars who saw hidden meaning in rearranged letters, to Renaissance-era writers and scientists who used anagrams to encode discoveries before publishing them formally.

How this anagram solver works

Type in any set of letters and this tool counts how many of each letter you've entered, then checks every entry in a dictionary of over 168,000 words to see whether it can be built using only those letters, each used no more times than it appears in your input. Results are sorted longest first. Check "Use all letters only" to restrict results to true anagrams that use every single letter you typed, rather than any shorter word that can be built from a subset of them.
