About Word Operative

Word Operative is a free word unscrambler and anagram solver built for Scrabble, Words with Friends, crosswords, and any game where you're staring at a handful of letters looking for the word hiding inside them. Type in your letters, pick a dictionary, and get every valid word they can form — sorted by length, scored by tile value, and backed by real definitions, synonyms, and homophones.

Different word games play by different rules, so Word Operative lets you search against several dictionaries side by side, from tight competition-legal tile sets to broad general reference lists. See the Word Lists page for a rundown of each one, and Data Credits for where the underlying data comes from.

Want to get better at solving these by hand, without the tool? The Training Center has short lessons on the letter patterns, blends, and word-building tricks that make unscrambling faster.
