Words With These Letters
Give this tool a set of letters and it lists every word you can make from them, grouped by length from the longest play down to two-letter words, each one carrying its Scrabble score.
Use ? or * for a blank tile, up to 15 characters. The dictionary loads in the background.
Every word your letters make appears below. Switch on Must include all to list the words that contain every one of them instead.
The plainest of the three: no game and no puzzle assumed, every word from two letters up, with the filters left for you to add rather than applied for you.
It answers the question in its plainest form: what words can I make with these letters? There is no board and no game assumed, so nothing gets filtered out that you did not filter out yourself. That makes it the right starting point when you are working a puzzle whose rules you do not want to explain to a tool.
Filters narrow the list when you do have constraints. Starts and Ends lock the first or last letter to something already on a board or grid, Contains requires a run of letters anywhere, and the Length chips jump straight to the 5 letter words with these letters, or the 7 letter ones, in a single tap. Blanks are entered as a question mark.
Switch on “must include all letters” and the question flips. Instead of words built only from your letters, you get every word that contains all of them, with any other letters around them. Type QZ and you see every word in the list that holds both a Q and a Z, which is the search a crossword or a half-filled grid usually needs.
How do you find every word from your letters?
Type up to 15 letters, repeats included
Any order, any mix of vowels and consonants, up to 15 characters. Repeats count as separate tiles, so two E tiles never produce a word with three. In the “must include all letters” mode the same letters become requirements instead: every result contains each of them, as many times as you typed it.
Leave gaps with ?, as many as you like
Each question mark or asterisk is a wildcard tile that the tool fills with every letter from A to Z, and you can add as many as fit in the box. The “must include all letters” mode ignores them, because every letter you did not type is already free there.
269,870 words, from 124 at two letters to 5,807 at 15
Results come from an open English word list of the SCOWL family, 2 to 15 letters long. Neither TWL nor Collins, the tournament lists, is used, so game-legal status is not promised for the rarer entries. The fullest length is 9 letters, with 41,139 words.
Grouped by length, with 5 and 7 letter quick picks
Results arrive in blocks by length, longest first and highest scoring first inside each block, every word carrying its Scrabble score. Switch the sort to Score or A to Z for one flat list. The Length chips cut to a single size: one tap on 5 shows the 5 letter words with these letters, one tap on 7 the 7 letter words.
What words can you make with a given set of letters?
More than most people guess. A seven-letter set of ordinary tiles typically yields well over a hundred valid words once you count everything from two letters upward, because English is dense in that region: there are 1,300 three-letter words and 5,469 four-letter words in the list this tool searches.
That density is the reason to read the list from the top down rather than scanning it whole. The longest results are the ones you could not have found unaided; the short ones you will spot yourself.
How do you find words of a specific length?
Results are grouped by length automatically, and the Length chips above them cut the list to one size: tap 5 for the 5 letter words with these letters, or 7 for a full Scrabble rack. If you only ever want one length, the reference lists linked below hold every word of that length in the dictionary, filtered and scored, and each one has its own solver on the page.
This is the common case behind searches like 5 letter words with these letters or seven letter word unscramble. The mechanic is the same in every case: enter the letters, then pick the length that matches the number of spaces you have to fill.
How do you narrow the list to a real board?
A raw list of every possible word is a starting point, not an answer. Lock the first or last letter with the Starts and Ends filters when you are playing through a tile that is already down, and use the contains option when a letter has to appear but you do not know where.
Each filter you add throws away plays you could not have made anyway. On a crowded Scrabble or Words With Friends board that usually reduces a hundred results to five or six that genuinely fit.
Worked examples: what a letter set actually holds
COUNTER
Seven common letters. The list below is only the top of what COUNTER contains, sorted longest and highest scoring first:
Showing 24 of 146 words from these 7 letters. See every word from COUNTER →
STRANDED
Eight letters with a repeated D and N. Repeats are respected, so no result uses more copies of a letter than you entered:
Showing 24 of 319 words from these 8 letters. See every word from STRANDED →
Is this a word finder, an unscrambler or an anagram solver?
It is an unscrambler, which is the broadest of the three. Knowing which one you want saves a lot of empty result screens.
| Tool | Uses | Returns | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anagram solver | every letter you enter, no more and no fewer | only words the exact same length as your input | names, single hidden words, and the LISTEN / SILENT kind of puzzle |
| Word unscrambler | any subset of your letters | full-length words plus every shorter word inside them | the daily jumble, tile games, and any puzzle with several answers |
| Word finder | your letters plus board constraints | words filtered by starting letter, ending letter or length | Scrabble and Words With Friends, where the play has to fit the board |
Use this page when you want the complete picture of a letter set. Switch to anagram mode when the answer has to use every letter, and to the Scrabble or Words With Friends finder when the score and the fit on a board are what matter.

Frequently asked questions
What words can I make with these letters?
Type your letters into the box and the tool lists every valid word from the longest down to two letters, grouped by length and sorted by score within each group. Nothing is hidden behind a sign-up and the whole search runs in your browser.
How do I find only 5 letter words with these letters?
Enter your letters and tap 5 in the Length chips, or read the five-letter block, since results are grouped by length anyway. For every five-letter word in the dictionary rather than just those from your letters, open the 5 letter words list, which holds all 12,578 of them.
Can I require a specific letter?
Yes. Starts and Ends lock the first or last letter, which is what you need when playing through a tile already on the board. The Contains filter requires a letter or a run of letters to appear somewhere without fixing its position.
Can I find words that include all of my letters?
Yes. Switch on “must include all letters” and the tool lists every word that contains each letter you typed, as many times as you typed it, with any other letters around them. Type QZ and you get every word in the list holding both a Q and a Z. Blanks are ignored in this mode.
How many letters can I enter?
Up to 15, the length of the longest words in the dictionary, which comfortably covers a seven-tile rack plus several letters already on the board. Larger sets simply return more words and take marginally longer.
Does it handle repeated letters correctly?
Yes. Letters are treated as a multiset, so if you enter two E tiles no result will use three. This matters on racks like SETTEES where a naive matcher would suggest words you cannot actually build.
Are the scores Scrabble or Words With Friends values?
The scores on this page are Scrabble values. For Words With Friends values, which price J at 10 and L, N and U at 2, use the Words With Friends solver instead.
Why do some results look like words I have never seen?
The dictionary is a large open English word list of 269,870 words, so it includes obscure entries a casual reader rarely meets. Every word has its own page with a definition where one exists, plus its score and anagrams, so an unfamiliar result is one tap from an explanation.
