Two tools, one job: the right word, fast
Unscrambler
Stuck with a rack of letters in Scrabble, Words With Friends or an anagram puzzle? Enter them — with ? for blank tiles — and get every word they can make, longest first, so the high scorers are right at the top.
5-Letter Finder
Made for Wordle-style games. Lock in the letters you know, require the ones you found, ban the grey ones — and see exactly which 5-letter words are still possible.
Copy and play
Results are grouped by length with counts, and one click copies the list. Everything runs on your device, so repeat searches are instant — no waiting, no accounts.
Frequently asked questions
How does the word unscrambler work?
Type your letters (2 to 12) and WordScout finds every English word that can be built from them, grouped by length, longest first. You can use up to two ? wildcards for blank tiles.
How do I find 5-letter words for Wordle?
Open the 5-Letter Finder tab. Fill in any letters you already know in the pattern (for example _a___), add letters the word must contain, and letters it must not contain. WordScout lists every 5-letter word that fits all three conditions.
Can I use a wildcard for a blank Scrabble tile?
Yes — type ? in place of a blank tile in the unscrambler. One ? can stand for any single letter, and you can use up to two.
Is WordScout free?
Yes, completely free — no account, no sign-up and no limits. The word list loads once and searches run instantly in your browser.
Which word list does WordScout use?
A large English word list of more than 370,000 words. It is generous, so uncommon or archaic words can appear alongside everyday ones — always check your game's own dictionary for final rulings.
Is WordScout affiliated with Wordle or the New York Times?
No. WordScout is an independent helper tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Wordle, the New York Times, Hasbro or Zynga.
