Word Generator is an essential tool for creating words. Whether you are searching for a Scrabble word generator or just some random words, the tool generates all available possible words from the given letters. Try it now and turn those useless letters into winning plays!

def make_new_words(start_word):
    """create new words from given start word and returns new words"""
    new_words=[]
    for letter in start_word:
        pass    
        #for letter in alphabet:
        #do something to change letters
        #new_words.append(new_word)

I have a three letter word input for example car which is the start word.
I then have to create new word by replacing one letter at a time with every letter from the alphabet. Using my example car I want to create the words, aar, bar, car, dar, ear,…, zar. Then create the words car, cbr, ccr, cdr, cer,…, czr. Finally caa, cab, cac, cad, cae,…, caz.

I don’t really know what the for loop should look like. I was thinking about creating some sort of alphabet list and by looping through that creating new words but I don’t know how to choose what parts of the original word should remain. The new words can be appended to a list to be returned.

out our cryptogram helper.

Word Scrambler Games & Puzzles

If you like solving word scramble puzzles, check out our new
word scramble game. We did give a little additional help by color-coding the
correct letters (green means you got it, red means keep trying).

We’ve also a cryptogram solving game. These puzzles are based
on substitution cipher codes, where each letter has been swapped with another letter.
Your job is to figure out which letter is which and decode the message. The game keeps
track of how long it takes to solve each puzzle and lets you know how your score
compares with others.
This article about how to solve
a cryptogram may also be helpful.

The next step up from using our word puzzle solver is outright code cracking.
If you like cracking codes, you may also find our article about pen and paper

cryptograph interesting. We walk through some of the building blocks of
manual cryptography (pre-World War I) and how these codes were broken. Those with a
technical bent may find our presentation on

breaking substitution ciphers via computer to be
interesting as well.

We also have puzzle makers (our wildcard). There are many custom options
you can use to create a word scramble. (Basically the inverse of using a word generator or letter unscrambler.
The scramble game can be used to test your knowledge of vocabulary or spelling. Very helpful for students and home schoolers.
We have a tool you can use to make a crossword puzzle. The crossword tool has some pre-defined puzzles as well.

The printable word scramble worksheet is very popular, along with the other printables. The word scramble maker generates puzzles very efficiently (including an answer sheet and valid word checks). The other option is to use word combination ideas to test for jumbled word comprehension.

More From Hanging Hyena:

While creating words from your alphabet is one way to create a word from letters, the scrambler can also be used to create anagrams. For example, if you want to find words in your letters, you can do it with a word unscrambler and anagrams will never be the same again. This is a boon to folks who aren’t great at word
scramble puzzles, since you can use a word unscrambler to keep up. It gives you the freedom to enjoy word games such as scrabble or text twist.

Word scramble puzzles are at the heart of many great word games and word puzzles. You can unscramble your way to happiness.
One great thing about creating a word from letters is that you can be certain that each letter stands alone and has its own meaning. The language we speak uses letters to convey things about thoughts and feelings. Need word lists? This site can provide them as well.

You should think about how the letters in the word are part of what makes up the word. Think about how they relate to each other and how they combine to form the word. If you take all the letters of the word, there will be several hundred of them and not all of them are used for forming the word.
Our word solver is built around this concept. The word scramble solver is a great example of it; you can use it to simplify a word search.

When you want to create a puzzle and solve it, the next step is to choose the best words. You might be using a dictionary to help you but for most people it would be better to do it by using a word unscrambler. This is also known as a word descrambler.

When choosing the words, you need to pick ones that you think are related to the letters that you have. For example, when you make a puzzle, you need to make sure you don’t use the same letters twice. Although it might seem obvious, it will be very difficult to create a puzzle that isn’t related to any letters.

There are a lot of books and games out there that involve spelling words and trying to get letters that stand for different words. However, these kind of games only help people who are already familiar with the meanings of letters.

When you create a puzzle that involves letters, it will be much easier for people who aren’t familiar with letters to break the puzzle down. That is why if you want to create a word from letters, you need to use a scrambler to create anagrams.

There are many reasons why you would want to use this type of tool, but the main reason is that it makes it easy for people to figure out a puzzle without using a dictionary. This will help people who don’t know the alphabet and want to figure out how to solve a puzzle.

When people get ready to write a book or create a blog, it can take a while to write all the words and then to actually read the words and phrases. It is much easier to use a scrambler to create anagrams and these will help you get started writing and reading the words quickly.

Word generators are becoming more popular because people want to be able to solve puzzles as well as write them. This is a great way to solve anagrams without using a dictionary.

It doesn’t matter if you are using a scramble helper, letter scrambler or Scrabble helper, you will be able to create a puzzle that is related to the letters you have. Many people will be surprised at how much easier it is to solve anagrams with a scrambler.

If you are using a scramble helper or Scrabble helper, you will be able to create anagrams without using a word finder. One of the fun benefits of getting good at unscrambling words.

Word Game Tactics

The scrambled word list is sorted by word length (5 letter words, 4 letter words, etc.). You should be able to find the unscrambled word answer you need from our word unscrambler tool (or the jumble solver/scrabble cheat). We add new words (valid words, meaningful word options) to the dictionary on a regular basis. It will find the highest scoring word from your entered letters (consonants and vowel options). So go have fun!

Affixation.
The process of affixation consists of coining a new word by adding an
affix or several affixes to some root morpheme. Affixes are
classified into productive and non-productive types. By productive
affixes we mean the ones, which take part in deriving new words in
this particular period of language development. For example, the
suffix -ish produces a great number of adjectives such as baldish,
oldish, youngish, mannish, fattish, longish, etc.

Conversion
is a special type of affixless derivation where a newly-formed word
acquires a paradigm and syntactic functions different from those of
the original word. Conversion consists in making a new word from some
existing word by changing the category of a part of speech, the
morphemic shape of the original word remaining unchanged. The new
word has a meaning which differs from the original one, but it can
more or less be easily associated with it. e.g. nurse (n.)> to
nurse (v.)

Substantivation
is the process in which adjectives (or participles) acquire the
paradigm and syntactic functions of nouns [A> N]. It is
distinguished two main types of substantivation: complete and
partial. Completely substantivized adjectives have the full paradigm
of a noun (singular and plural case forms, definite and indefinite
articles, demonstrative and possessive pronouns). e.g. adj. native
(rіdny)> n. a native, the native, two natives, a native’s
character.

Compounding
is the productive type of word-building in which new words are
produced by combining two or more stems. (blackbird, sunflower,
girl-friend, ashtray, bedroom, birthday)

There
are two main ways of shortening:
contraction (clipping) and abbreviation (initial shortening).
Contraction (clipping) is to make a new word from a syllable (rare
two) of the original word.

There
are four types of contraction:

1)
Final clipping (apocope) — omission of the final part of the word eg
doc> doctor, lab> laboratory, vac> vacation, ad>
advertisement

2)
Initial clipping (apheresis) — omission of the fore part of the word
eg phone> telephone, plane> airplane, story> history, Fred>
Alfred

3)
Medial clipping (syncope) — omission of the middle part of the word
eg maths> mathematics, fansy> fantasy, specs> spectacles

4)
Mixed clipping — omission of the fore and the final parts of the word
eg tec> detective, flu> influenza, fridge> refrigerator,
Liz> Elizabeth

The
second way of shortening is to make a new word from the initial
letters of a word group and called abbreviation (initial shortening).
They are subdivided into five groups:

1)
Acronyms. These words are read in accordance with the rules of
orthoepy, eg UNO (United Nation Organization), UNESCO (United Nations
Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization), NATO (North
Atlantic Treaty Organization)

2)
Alphabetic abbreviations. In this case letters get their full
alphabetic pronunciation and a full stress, eg the USA (the United
States of America), B.B.C. (British Broadcasting Corporation), M.P.
(Member of Parliament), F.B.I. (Federal Bureau of Investigation), CV
(Curriculum vitae), EU (European Unity).

3)
Compound abbreviations. The first immediate constituent is a letter
and the second — a complete word, eg A-bomb (Atomic bomb), V-day
(Victory day), Z-hour (Zero hour)

4)
Graphic abbreviations. They are used in texts for economy of space
and are pronounced as the corresponding unabbreviated words, eg Mr.
(Mister), m. (Mile), ft. (Foot), v. (Verb), pp. (Pages), etc.

5)
Latin abbreviations. They are read as separate letters or are
substituted by their English equivalents, eg i.e. (That is), am (in
the morning), ld (in some place), ef (compare), pa (Lat. Per annum)

Phrasal
Verbs
Phrasal verbs are combinations of a verb and adverb or a verb and
preposition (or verb with both adverb and preposition). They divided
into two groups: non-idiomatic (retain their primary local meaning),
eg come in, come out, take off, put down, drink up, etc. and
idiomatic (can not be derived from their immediate constituents), eg
bring up, bear out, give in, fall out, etc.

1. Non-productive
   ways of word-formation

Sound
interchange is the way of word building when some sounds are changed
to form a new word. It is non-productive in Modern English; it was
productive in Old English and can be met in other Indo-European
languages.

The
causes of sound interchange can be different. It can be the result of
Ancient Ablaut which cannot be explained by the phonetic laws during
the period of the language development known to scientists., e.g. to
strike — stroke, to sing — song etc. It can be also the result of
Ancient Umlaut or vowel mutation which is the result of palatalizing
the root vowel because of the front vowel in the syllable coming
after the root (regressive assimilation), e.g. hot — to heat
(hotian), blood — to bleed (blodian) etc.

In
many cases we have vowel and consonant interchange. In nouns we have
voiceless consonants and in verbs we have corresponding voiced
consonants because in Old English these consonants in nouns were at
the end of the word and in verbs in the intervocal position, e.g.
bath — to bathe, life — to live, breath — to breathe etc.

Stress
interchange can be mostly met in verbs and nouns of Romanic origin:
nouns have the stress on the first syllable and verbs on the last
syllable, e.g. `accent — to ac`cent. This phenomenon is explained in
the following way: French verbs and nouns had different structure
when they were borrowed into English; verbs had one syllable more
than the corresponding nouns. When these borrowings were assimilated
in English the stress in them was shifted to the previous syllable
(the second from the end) . Later on the last unstressed syllable in
verbs borrowed from French was dropped (the same as in native verbs)
and after that the stress in verbs was on the last syllable while in
nouns it was on the first syllable. As a result of it we have such
pairs in English as: to af`fix -`affix, to con`flict- `conflict, to
ex`port -`export, to ex`tract — `extract etc. As a result of stress
interchange we have also vowel interchange in such words because
vowels are pronounced differently in stressed and unstressed
positions.

1. Affixation.
   Itsmaintypes

Affixation
is the process of adding a morpheme (oraffix)
to a word to
create either

(a)
a different form of that word (e.g., bird → birds),
or

(b)
a new word with a different meaning (bird → birder).

Types
of affixes on the basis of places

Affixes
can be of four types on the basis of their places. That means, on the
basis of the part of the root word they are added into; affixes can
be of four different types:

• Prefixes

Affixes
that are added in beginning of any root word are called prefixes.

1. Negative
   prefixes: in-, un-, non-, dis-, a- etc. (connect-disconnect,
   moral-amoral, justice-injustice)

2. Size
   and degree affixes: mini-, over-, sub-, super- etc.
   (skirt-miniskirt, man-superman, set-subset)

• Suffixes

Affixes
that are added in end of any root word are called suffixes.
(cat-cats, fool-foolish, respect-respectful)

• Infixes

Affixes
which get added in mid part of a single root word are called infixes.
In Standard English grammar, infixes do not exist.
(Hallebloodylujah!,Absogoddamlutely!Unfuckinbelievable!)

• Circumfixes

Circumfixes
are exact opposites of infixes. They round / circle the root word.
That means, a circumfix gets divided into two parts and these two
parts are placed in beginning and end of the root word respectively.
Don’t exist in Standard English.

Types
of affixes on the basis of functions

• Inflectional
  affixes

Inflectional
affixes suggest grammatical information about the word.

-s,
-ed, -en, -ing, -s, -‘s, -er, -est (gives, watched, gone, taken,
flying, cats, John’s, better, best)

• Derivational
  affixes

Unlike
inflectional affixes, derivational affixes can «derive»
entirely new words from the existing ones. Thus, they are more
productive than inflectional morphemes.

-ic,
-unce, -ity, -ly, -ive, -abve, -ise (heroic, performance, activity,
badly, creative, sharable, characterise)

Un-,
dis-, anti-, in- (unhappy, disestablish, anticapitalist, indecent)

Re-,
-ship, -ist, -er, -let, -hood (recover, friendship, capitalist,
lecturer, booklet, childhood)

1. Blending
   as a way of word formation in Modern English

Blending
is one of the most beloved of word formation processes in English. It
is especially creative in that speakers take two words and merge them
based not on morpheme structure but on sound structure. The resulting
words are called blends.

In
blending, part of one word is stitched onto another word, without any
regard for where one morpheme ends and another begins. Examples:
brunch (breakfast and lunch), motel (motor hotel), electrocute
(electric and execute), smog (smoke and fog) and cheeseburger (cheese
and hamburger).

1. Clipping
   as a way of word formation. Types of clipping.

Clipping
is a type of abbreviation of a word in which one part is ‘clipped’
off the rest, and the remaining word now means essentially the same
thing as what the whole word means or meant. For example, burger,
formed by clipping off the beginning of the word hamburger.

Clipping
mainly consists of the following types:

Back
clipping
(the
most common type, in which the beginning is retained. The unclipped
original may be either a simple or a composite. Examples
are: ad (advertisement), cable(cablegram), doc (doctor), exam (examination))

Fore-clipping
(retains
the final part. Examples: bot (robot),
net (Internet))

Middle
clipping
(the
middle of the word is retained. Examples
are: flu (influenza), fridge (refrigerator))

Complex
clipping
(Clipped
forms are also used in compounds.
One part of the original compound most often remains intact. Examples
are: cablegram (cable telegram), op
art (optical art), org-man(organization man), linocut (linoleum cut).
Sometimes both halves of a compound are clipped as
in navicert (navigation certificate)

1. Conversion.
   Typical semantic relations within a conversion pair.

In linguistics, conversion,
also called zero derivation,
is a kind of word
formation;
specifically, it is the creation of a word (of
a new word class) from an existing word (of a different word class)
without any change in form.^[1] For
example, the noun green in
golf (referring to a putting-green) is derived ultimately from
the adjective green.

Conversions
from adjectives to nouns and vice versa are both very common and
unnotable in English; much more remarked upon is the creation of
a verb by
converting a noun or other word (e.g., the adjective clean becomes
the verb to
clean).

Typical
semantic relations within a converted pair

I.
Verbs converted from noun (denominal verbs) denote:

1.action
characteristic of the object ape (n) — to ape (v) butcher (n) — to
butcher (v) 2.instrumental use of the object screw (n) — to screw (v)
whip (n) — to whip (v)

3.acquisition
or addition of the object fish (n) — to fish (v)

II.
Nouns converted from verbs (deverbal nouns) denote:

1.
instance of the action:to jump (v) -jump (n); to move (v) — move (n)

2.
agent of the action: to help (v) — help (n), to switch (v) — switch
(n)

3.
place of action: to drive (v) — drive (n), to walk (v) — walk (n)

4.object
or result of the action: to peel (v) — peel (n), to find (v) — find
(n).

1. Derivation
   as a word-formative process in English

Derivation
is the process of forming new words from existing ones by adding
affixes to them, like shame + less + ness → shamelessness. In cases
in which there is a one-to-one correspondence between affixes and
syntactical categories, this is known as agglutination, as seen in
agglutinative languages.

1. Shortening.
   Types of shortening.

Shortening is
the process and
the result of forming a word out of the initial elements (letters,
morphemes) of a word combination.

Shortenings
are produced in 2 ways:

·        To
make a new word from a syllable (rarer two) of the original words.
The latter may lose it’s beginning (telephone – phone, defence —
fence), it’s ending (holidays – hols, advertisement- ad), or both
the beginning and the ending (influenza – flu, refrigerator —
fridge)

·        To
make a new word from the initial letters of a word group: U.N.O –
United Nation Organization, B.B.C. and etc.

1. Word
   composition. Types of compound words. Different
   criteria for classification.

Compounding
or word-composition is one of the productive means of word-formation
in Modern English. Compounds are words that are made up of two
immediate constituents which are both derivative bases. 
Derivative
bases in compounds can have different degrees of complexity:
1.
both bases are simple (weekend, girlfriend).
2.
one base is simple, the other is derivative (a shoemaker).
3.
one base is compound and the other is either simple or derivative
(fancy-dress -> fancydress-ball, маскарад;
fancydress-maker).

Classification
of compounds.
1)
According to the type of word-formation:
a.
compounds proper – are words made up of two derivative bases
(red-current, girlfriend)
b.
derivational compounds – are words formed by affixation or
conversion from a compound derivational base (blue-eyed, a
breakdown)
c.
pseudo-compounds — The constituent members of compound words of this
subgroup are in most cases unique, carry very vague or no lexical
meaning of their own, are not found as stems of
independently
functioning
words. They are motivated mainly through the rhythmic doubling of
fanciful sound-clusters. (loudmouth).
2)
Semantic
a.
subordinate (подчинительные)
– words where one of the derivative bases is the grammatical and
semantical center of the word, as a rule – the 2 one – a head
member. It expresses the general meaning of the word, and the first
one specifies it (girlfriend)
b.
coordinate (сочинительные)
– words where both components are equally important:
—
reduplicated – formed by repeating the base (fifty-fifty)
—
rhyming (walkie-talkie, willy-nilly)
—
additive – denote an object or a person that is two things at a
time (Anglo-Saxon, an actor- manager)

Criteria
of distinguishing between compounds and free-word
combinations.
Compounds
are inseparable lexical units that are presented in dictionaries in
special entries and sub-entries. Compounds are reproduced and used in
speech as lexical units, they are not formed in speech like free-word
combinations. They are only pronounced as lexical units (a red rose,
a redskin).
Inseparability
of compounds has graphical (one word or a hyphen), phonetic (stress),
morphological (only 2 base shows grammatical category) and semantic
(grammatical formes differ from the forms of the motivating words
(richer – more oil-richer) criteria.
