What is an Anagram?

An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase, using all the original letters exactly once. For example, "LISTEN" and "SILENT" are anagrams of each other — they contain the exact same letters in a different order.

5 Tips for Finding Anagrams Manually

1

Look for Common Patterns

Identify prefixes (UN-, RE-, PRE-) and suffixes (-ING, -TION, -ED) that commonly appear in words.

2

Group Vowels Together

Separate vowels (A, E, I, O, U) from consonants, then experiment with different combinations.

3

Try Different Starting Letters

Systematically test each available letter as the first letter of potential anagrams.

4

Use Letter Frequency

Common letters (E, T, A, O, I, N, S, R) are more likely to form recognizable words.

5

Try Our Word Unscrambler

If you want words using some (not all) of your letters, use our word unscrambler tool instead.

Frequently Asked Questions About Anagrams

What is an anagram?
An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging all the letters of another word or phrase, using each letter exactly once. For example, LISTEN and SILENT are anagrams of each other — they contain the exact same 6 letters rearranged.
How is an anagram different from unscrambling?
Anagrams use ALL letters exactly once to form a new word of the same length. Unscrambling finds all possible words using some or all of the letters (words can be shorter). Our anagram solver finds true anagrams; use our Word Unscrambler if you want partial matches.
Can I find anagrams of phrases?
Yes! Enter a phrase (spaces are ignored) and we'll find single-word anagrams using all the letters. For example, entering "ELEVEN PLUS TWO" finds the anagram "TWELVE PLUS ONE." For multi-word anagram results, try our word unscrambler with all letters.
What are some famous anagram examples?
Famous anagrams include: ASTRONOMER = MOON STARER, DORMITORY = DIRTY ROOM, LISTEN = SILENT, THE MORSE CODE = HERE COME DOTS, SLOT MACHINES = CASH LOST IN ME, and STRESSED = DESSERTS.
How do crossword puzzles use anagram clues?
Crossword constructors often use anagram clues indicated by words like "scrambled," "mixed up," "confused," "rearranged," or "reorganized." For example, "Confused teacher (7)" would clue CHEATER, an anagram of TEACHER.
What is the longest anagram?
Our solver supports words up to 20 letters. Some famous long anagrams include CINEMATOGRAPHER = MEGACHIROPTERAN and CONVERSATIONALISTS = CONSERVATIONALISTS. Very long anagrams are rare because all letters must form valid dictionary words.
What is the Tom Riddle anagram in Harry Potter?
In Harry Potter, "TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE" is an anagram of "I AM LORD VOLDEMORT." J.K. Rowling created this anagram to reveal that Tom Riddle and Lord Voldemort are the same person.
Why are some words not found as anagrams?
Our anagram solver uses official Scrabble dictionaries which don't include proper nouns, hyphenated words, or abbreviations. If no anagrams appear, it means no valid English dictionary words can be formed from rearranging all those letters exactly once.
