Anagram Finder
Find matching anagrams in a word list.
Overview
Type any word or letter set, and the anagram finder returns every real English word that uses the same letters. Unlike a brute-force permutation generator, this one filters its output against a built-in dictionary, so you only see meaningful results.
Writers, crossword constructors, Scrabble and Words With Friends players, and puzzle hunters use it to discover hidden anagrams in names, titles, and themed clues. It's also a handy aid for ESL learners exploring how letter combinations form different vocabulary.
How it works
The finder sorts the letters of your input alphabetically to create a canonical fingerprint, then looks up that fingerprint in a precomputed index of dictionary words sharing the same signature. This makes lookups nearly instantaneous regardless of how many words the dictionary contains. Some modes also surface partial anagrams (subsets of your letters) for Scrabble-style hunts.
Examples
Input: LISTEN
Output: ENLIST, INLETS, SILENT, TINSEL
Input: DEAR
Output: DARE, DEAR, READ
Input: STREAM
Output: MASTER, MATERS, TAMERS
FAQ
Does the tool find multi-word anagrams?
The default mode finds single dictionary words. Multi-word phrase anagrams require a separate, more expensive search and aren't included here.
What dictionary does it use?
A standard English wordlist suitable for casual word puzzles. It covers common words but won't include every proper noun or specialist term.
Will it find anagrams with fewer letters than my input?
Toggle the subset / partial-anagram option if you want to surface shorter words that use a subset of your letters — useful for Scrabble racks.
