Unscramble Words With Wildcards
If you're trying to solver a word puzzle with a wildcard character, never fear. Simplyenter this wildcard in the solver as either a ? or a *. It will unscramble words whichcan use that wildcard tile by cycling through all the possible letters in the alphabet.The word finder and word jumble solver should be able to help you from there.
Why is specific word not listed...
This is a common support question. We designed the word finder to be a family-friendlyhelper for popular word games. If you don't see a word, it is usually because:
- Proper Name or Place (usually unplayable)
- Obscure - Not Listed in Our Dictionary
- Offensive - Wasn't Family Friendly or Civil
- Very New - Dictionary didn't pick it up yet
- Slang, Not Common Use - eg. not broadly used
Feedback is always welcome of course, and we can drop or add other words to the word finder as we need to.We know how an anagram engine works - all the best anagram solutions are in our database.
Ways To Unscramble Words
Need Word Unscramble Help? Staring down an out of control word scrambler? We aim to please,with our handy word unscrambler that will let you unscramble letters. Or you can tryto solve this the old fashioned way.... (need a 5 letter word?)
First, look for opportunities to make plurals. If you see an 'S', be ready to tack it ontothe end of any word you can make with the remaining letters. The same goes if you have 'ES'or 'IES'. One cool cheat with a lot of word game programs is they check for plurals usingrules rather than a dictionary, so they will accept tacking an S on the end as a good word.Expect some whining on the message screen if you do that (although the move is fair).
Next, take a look for any prefixes or suffixes. These are common sequences of letters thatare used by many words in the english language. They can be another quick way to unscramblewords. Find your prefix or suffix and test mixing up the other letters to make more words.For puzzles, once you're sure you know the prefix or suffix of a word, you really reduce thenumber of possible words you can make.
Consonant patterns are another great way to go after the possible words. If you spot a "th" or a "ch" or have two consonants and a couple of vowels, start swapping theorder of the vowels around to see what words you can unscramble. Once you have an ideaabout the rough order of your consonants, there are a very small number of ways toarrange your vowels into words - which can speed up your solution. We had this kind ofthinking in mind when we designed our word scramble game. (common strategy for scrabble as well)
