About this tool
"Find anagrams" looks your letters up in a dictionary of about 63,000 English words, British and American spellings included: SCOWL by Kevin Atkinson, at its common-words size, so it finds real words without the obscure ones. It lists every word that uses all your letters, then the shorter words (3 letters or more) you can make from them, longest first. The dictionary (about 180 KB) downloads the first time you search. Each word is filed under its letters in alphabetical order, so the lookup is instant even for 15 letters.
The phrase checker below is a true anagram test in the traditional sense — it compares two phrases letter-for-letter (ignoring case, spaces, and punctuation) to see if one is a rearrangement of the other, the same way "Dormitory" and "Dirty room" are classic anagrams of each other. Nothing you enter here is sent to a server — the entire tool runs as JavaScript in your browser tab.
