How to use Anagram Solver?
To generate your anagrams, place your word into the letter box and hit the submit button. Word Raiders’ anagram tool rearranges letters from your word and lists all other words you can create from it.
By the definition of anagram, the tool will only list words that have the same length as a starting word, which is the main distionction between anagram and word unscramble.
How to find anagrams with extra letters?
When solving anagrams, the letters available in your word rack can frequently be combined with other letters to form new words, such as Scrabble and Words With Friends. Many word games even feature blank tiles that score zero points but can be substituted for any letter in the alphabet, expanding the word length. This allows the player to pick up additional points through additional letters used.
- To find anagrams that include extra letters with our solver, you should use the wildcard symbol “?”. By doing so, the solver will permit an additional letter to be included in the solutions.
- A maximum of two wildcards can be used, granting two additional letters.
- As an example, searching for “TRAIN??” would allow the 7-letter words “ARTISAN” and “TERRAIN” to appear in the results.
Can the Anagram Solver be used for words and letters?
Yes, the Anagram Solver can be used for both words and random assortments of letters. The tool will not force users to enter a dictionary-recognized term to search for anagrams. No special characters are permitted, and users should only include the letters A-Z in the “Letters,” “Starts with,” “Ends with,” “Contains,” and “Exclude” fields. Each solution given after creating a search will be a real word.
Benefits of solving anagrams
- Lying down when solving anagrams instead of standing up has decreased the time to find solutions by an average of 12.33%.
- Mentally stimulating activities such as anagram solving can help reduce the effects of brain aging and cognitive decline.
- One study found that eight hours spent playing an anagram-based video game over a month can improve older adults’ working memory.
- Anagrams are even used in cognitive therapy to help those with learning disabilities or cognitive impairments, as they can aid memory, language, and problem-solving.
- People with high vocabulary levels show links to achieving higher scores in anagram solving.
- However, those with lower vocabulary levels have mixed abilities in solving anagrams.
- Finding a solution to an anagram can increase the chance of remembering the created word compared to simply reading it.
- The perceived difficulty of the created word is not found to impact its memorability.

What is an anagram?
- An anagram is rearranging the letters of a word, phrase, or name to form a different term.
- To be considered a valid anagram, no additional letters should be added and no letters should be taken away.
- For example, “SPINE” can be an anagram of “PINES”.
- We promote cognitive performance and mental agility by contemplating new solutions when solving anagrams.
How to solve an anagram?
There are many different methods that people use to solve anagrams. Three popular methods are given below:
- Split the word into a circle: Using a piece of paper or a computer application, split the word you would like to solve into a randomized circle of letters. Doing so will force you to prevent reading the word from left to right. It will also force your brain to develop new patterns and possibilities.
- First and last letter: Identifying these can significantly improve your chances of solving an anagram. To do so, try placing different letter combinations at the beginning and end while muddling the remaining letters in the middle of the word.
- For example, “HPPAY BTHRIADY” is easier to identify as “HAPPY BIRTHDAY”. This is due to the brain’s tendency to interpret each word as a whole rather than letter by letter.
- Use common pairings: Certain letters combine with others more frequently than the rest of the alphabet. Spending time to understand and create new words based upon these pairings can be hugely rewarding to anagram fanatics.
