HOW TO USE THIS HELPER

Word unscrambler with blanks: a worked example

01

Add one symbol per blank

TEA? has four tiles: T, E, A and one blank. It can make TEAM when the blank supplies M, or TEAR when it supplies R.

02

Use up to two blanks

Both ? and * mean one wildcard tile. LETTER? has seven tiles, including two Es and two Ts; the blank can supply one extra letter, not an entire word.

03

Choose full or shorter words

The default uses every tile. Include shorter words to use a subset, then refine with length, prefix or suffix filters. Matches use a general English dictionary, not a licensed game lexicon.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

A little more guidance.

How do I find words with an unknown letter?

Put ? or * in Your letters for each blank tile, up to two blanks. TEA? can form TEAM when the blank supplies M, or TEAR when it supplies R. One blank represents one letter, not a sequence.

Can I use blank tiles or repeated letters?

Yes. Enter ? or * for one blank tile, up to two blanks. Each blank supplies one letter. Repeated letters need repeated tiles or blanks: LETTER contains two Es and two Ts.

Do prefix and suffix filters add letters?

No. Starts with, Ends with and Must include only restrict the results. Those letters must already be available in your tiles or supplied by blanks. Filters accept letters A–Z; put blank symbols in Your letters.

Why might my game reject a suggested word?

Each game chooses its own accepted-word list. These helpers use a general English dictionary that includes uncommon words, so a match is not a guarantee that your game accepts it.
