Design215 Word Finder

The Design215 Word Finder is a free utility that unscrambles words, finds anagrams,
solves jumbles, finds rhyming words, and helps with Scrabble, crosswords, and other word games.
For example, you can find all 6 letter words that start with «d» and end with «n».
Find words that rhyme by searching for words that end with the same letters.
If you enter letters into the «Unscramble» box, the other fields will be ignored
and the program will find any words that can be formed from those letters. Unscramble
now finds combinations of two words by default.

Directions and Tips

  • Playing Wordle? Try the Word Pattern Finder
    if you need to use placeholders and exclude letters with «DOES NOT CONTAIN» etc.
  • UNSCRAMBLE UPDATED 12.22.2012:
    By default, the «Unscramble» box now returns a list of one and two word
    solutions that use all letters. Remember, the «Unscramble» box ignores all other fields.

    For games like SCRABBLE®, check «show all words you can make with these letters»
    to find all words that can be made from any number of the letters entered.

  • Word searches return a maximum of 500 words, 1500 for unscrambles.
  • To find words that rhyme, enter the last few letters of a word in the «Ends with» box.
  • Use the «Length» menu to limit the number of letters in the words being searched. If you only
    want to find 4 letter words, select «4 letters». If you want to find words of any length, up to
    and including 8 letters, select «8 letters» and check the «or less» box.
  • The «Contains» box works two ways. Enter «cat» with the checkbox unchecked, and you’ll find words
    like «catch», «locate», and «tomcat». If «any order» is checked, you’ll find words containing the letters
    «c», «a», and «t», in any order, like «cadet», «exact», and «teach».

    Complex Example:
    If you wanted to find words that begin with «a», end with «s» and contain «a» and «i» in the
    middle of the word, enter «a» in «Begins with», «s» in «Ends with», and «aai» in «Contains» with
    «any order» checked. The two a’s are necessary if you want words that begin with «a» AND have
    another «a» somewhere in the middle. You’ll find «airbags», «animals», and «aviators».

  • Wildcards or Missing Letters?
    To unscramble a word when one or more letters are missing:
    1. Enter the known letters in the «Contains» box instead of «Unscramble».
    2. Check «any order».
    3. Select the total number of letters in the word from the «Length» menu.

    For example, if you had 4 letters and a
    wildcard, «e?tca», you would enter «etca» in the
    «Contains» box, check «any order» and select a Length of «5 Letters».

  • Crossword Puzzles
    Use the «Length» menu with a combination of «Begins with», «Ends with», or
    «Contains», depending on what letters in the crossword are filled in. Uncheck «any order».

History

The programming for this page was originally written in GFA-Basic by Robert Giordano on an
Atari TT030
while he was in college. His program would spellcheck in real time
as you typed, on a 32mhz computer, using a 99,000 word dictionary! People using Windows 95 were
amazed… and jealous. In 2001, he converted some of the code to ASP and
created a web page on gallery215.com but
it was not available to the public. In 2005, the ASP version was converted to PHP for this
site using the ASP Translator and a few tweaks.

SCRABBLE is a trademark of Hasbro in the United States and Canada.
Scrabble rights elsewhere in the world are held by J.W. Spear and Sons, PLC.

«I arrived here via your «unscrambler» and was surprised to see all the other features. I’m looking forward to exploring them. IMHO, the value of word scrambles and word find puzzles as homework is suspect. They may help with spelling, I suppose, and definitions in some formats, but appear to have little to offer in terms of helping students better understand and apply concepts. So, if using your resource helps students complete «busy work» assignments more efficiently, hurrah for time management!«

I’m not sure what the word is either. The first word list contains all of the officially allowable Scrabble words. The second word list is for spell checking documents.

To find «yellow» from «YLW», you have to check the «any order» box. Otherwise, it tries to find those three letters next to each other. Didn’t you have the «any order» box checked to find «Octahedral»?«

Actually, I’ve done tests and the comments don’t slow the page down much. The math for doing searches and unscrambles on word lists with 100,000 words or more is pretty intense. Add to that the popularity of this page and the server might sometimes lag a bit.

That being said, I might move the comments to another page if the list gets much longer. Thanks for your comment =)«

«I came in here last night for help unscrambling a word for a contest. It gave me some interesting answers. Now that I have more clues for the word that I need to unscramble… It might be easier. But when I put in for a 6 letter word or less and have everything put in that I want in.. and click the button it changes my settings back to any length. Why? Otherwise, this thing is really cool!«

«I tried OICURMT on several other popular sites and did not get any results for a single word. Do you know if it should unscramble to an English word? Also, did you try it with the «all possible» checkbox checked? It does unscramble to some two-word combinations then.«

Find words using these letters / Find words in a word

This search will find all words contained in the letters that you specify, as long as the word is in this word list. The resulting words will have some or all of the letters, and only these letters. This search is sensitive to the frequency of occurrence of letters in the requested set. For example, if you specify 2 e’s in your request, the resulting words will have, at most, 2 e’s. More words will result from more letters, but too many letters might produce too many words and obscure your findings. The contains only search is a good Scrabble® or Words with Friends™ helper. Enter your letters and click the Find Words button. If you find yourself entering a letter set in the contains only search box, and doing repeated searches, each time altering a single letter, perhaps the contains only, plus one blank tile search, would work better for you.

Do a word finder search.
Results will display below.

You can use this search to suggest words containing only the letters in your Scrabble® rack. All words in our word list (over 221,719) that contain some or all of the letters will be displayed.

Find words containing only, really only …

If you want all the letters to be used the same number of times that is specified in the requested set of letters, with no other letters present, then try our anagram search.

Find words containing only, but any number of times …

If you want to find words made from some or all of the letters, but have these words use only these letters in any amounts, then use the find words made from search.

Scrabble® Tips

Find the longest word that can be made with the given letters.

This search will find all words using these letters, and only these letters, in our word list of over 221,719 words. Use the buttons below the word list to sort the words by length, and then reverse the list to place the longest words first.

Get more words with these letters.

Enter the letters on your scrabble rack and the letter on the Scrabble® board that you are trying to play off of. More words will result from more letters, but too many letters might produce too many words and obscure your findings.

Easily find words with similar endings in the given letters.

Sort the words alphabetically from the end of word, using the buttons below the word list.

Word Finder

The purpose of this app is to quickly find all words that can be constructed from a particular set of letters.
For example: Given a list of English words and a set of letters (say “yxmijcmknbshdwifzrsmueist”), it will display all the words that can possibly be constructed from any subset (or all) those letters.

The goal is to minimize the time between receiving the letters and displaying the possible words.

Assumptions & considerations

  1. The dictionary file contains some duplicate entries with different cases. For example: ‘Z’ and ‘z’ are listed. This app treats them as separate entries for completeness.
  2. The letter order in the search string is not important. All possible combinations of letters will be searched.
  3. For this exercise, clarity of variable names was emphasized over brevity. In a production situation, the files would minified anyway.

Algorithm Explanation

The algorithm is heavy on pre-processing so that the time time to search subsequent strings will be faster.

Build Dictionary

  1. Read a text file dictionary
  2. Sort the letters of each word in the dictionary. For example: ‘cat’ becomes ‘act’;
  3. Use the sorted values as a key in a hash table. This key maps to an array containing all words that can be made from these sorted letters. Example: ‘act’ : [ «cat», «Cat», «act» ]
  4. Count the letters in each key and insert these letter counts into hash map.

Search a String

  1. Count each letters in the string.
  2. Iterate through the hash map, for each word check to see if its letters are in string’s hash map. If so, check the letter counts, if not move on the next word.
  3. If there is a match, add all of the words that mapped to the sorted words key into a new output array.
  4. Return the output array.

Architecture

The frontend is written with JavaScript and jQuery. The backend is written and node.js and MongoDB is used to store the dictionary files. There are two ways to use this app. Pre-processed dictionaries for English, Italian, Spanish, and French have been inserted into a MongoDB database. The dictionaries however are on the order of ~10MB so transfer times to the client can be an issue. If using the app via the front end, you will have to wait a bit for the app to pull down the requested dictionary. During this time, the app will use the API to fetch the results, instead of finding them directly on the client. Subsequent string searches will be fast enough to happen as you type though.

Alternatively, there are a few API calls that can be used for interacting with the service directly. The API does not know ahead of time which dictionary will be requested so it doesn’t benefit from caching the dictionary, but because it doesn’t have to transfer the large dictionary files, the initial time will be faster. So the API will be faster if you only need to check one string, but for checking many strings, the front end will be faster.

How to Unscramble Words With Letters You Have

Unscrambling letters into words might sound like an easy task, but how do you make words from a set of letters or convert letters to words? How about unscrambling short words and long words?

I will use these letters as an example to start, AIDRUEG, ROOSIERL, TSBE, and DRELENB. These letters don’t look very intimidating, do they? Not really; they are relatively short and look straightforward enough. Looks can be deceiving, though.

Example 1:

What Words Can I Make With These Letters? ROOSIERL

The first set of letters, ROOSIERL, unscrambles to ORIOLES, with an with an extra R, but what other words can you make?

  • LORRIES — 7 letter words
  • LOOSER — 6 letter words
  • LOOSER — 5 letter words
  • ROSE — 4 letter words
Example 2:

What Words Can I Make With These Letters? AIDRUEG

The second set of letters, AIDRUEG, unscrambles to GUADIER, do you know the other words?

  • ARGUED — 6 letter words
  • ARGUE — 5 letter words
  • RUDE — 4 letter words
  • AIR — 3 letter words
Example 3:

What Words Can I Make With These Letters? TSBE

The first set of letters, TSBE, unscrambles to BEST, but what other words are in the word list?

  • BETS — 4 letter words
  • SET — 3 letter words
  • BE — 2 letter words

Of course, there are more words. I just left out the uncommon words, like «es» and so on.

Example 4:

What Words Can I Make With These Letters? DRELENB

Now on to the next set of letters, DRELENB. It is a lot longer, so our word unscrambler will find A LOT more words.

The most common anagram is BLENDER, but can you guess how many other words? 145 WORDS!

  • REBLEND — 7 letter words
  • RELEND — 6 letter words
  • REBEL — 5 letter words

The list goes on and on! It is not always easy to make words from letters, is it? So I am guessing you are starting to see why you need this letter unscrambler to help you make words from letters?
