Tap the letters in order to build the word
| Tap letters | Build your answer. |
| Read the clue | It describes the hidden word. |
Anagram Hunt scrambles a word and gives you a clue. Rearrange the letters until the word appears. It is the puzzle that fills newspaper columns and quiz shows, and it works because your brain is far better at recognising a word than at constructing one.
That asymmetry is the whole trick. Staring at the jumble rarely helps, but shuffling the letters into different groupings gives your pattern recognition something to catch on, and the answer usually arrives all at once rather than gradually.
Look for common endings first. If the letters include I, N and G, try ING at the end. The same goes for ED, ER and TION, and fixing the ending often leaves an obvious beginning.
Group consonant pairs that go together. CH, TH, SH and ST appear constantly in English, so spotting those clusters immediately reduces how many arrangements you need to consider.
Rewrite the letters in a different order. Physically rearranging them breaks the visual pattern your brain has locked onto, and the answer frequently appears the moment the jumble looks different.
Use the clue early rather than as a last resort. Knowing the answer is a fruit or a building narrows thousands of arrangements down to a handful before you start shuffling.
A word made by rearranging the letters of another. Here the letters are scrambled and you restore the original.
Yes, both the words and the clues were written for this version.
Use the clue and look for common endings like ING or ER, which usually break the puzzle open.
Because it disrupts the pattern your brain has fixed on, letting your word recognition catch the answer.
