About Word Scramble

Word Scramble is a free online anagram game: pick a theme, and the letters of each word get shuffled for you to unscramble against the clock. It's a fast-paced companion to the site's word search puzzles — same familiar categories and languages, a different kind of brain workout. Race through a round solo, use it as a quick classroom warm-up, or just see how many words you can unscramble before the timer catches up.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Word Scramble work?

Pick a category and Word Scramble shuffles the letters of a word from that theme. Type your best guess and hit Check — get it right and the next scrambled word appears immediately. Use one of your three hints per round if you get stuck.

Can I choose the category or how many words are in a round?

Yes — choose any of the site's word categories (or Surprise Me for a mix) and set how many words you want in the round with the slider before you start.

Is Word Scramble really free?

Yes. Like every game on Word Search Games, Word Scramble is completely free to play with no sign-up, no download, and no limit on how many rounds you play.
