Unscrambler Help

Examples

Example 1

Let's say you want to unscramble a word such as pplea. Here's how you'd fill out the Unscrambler options.

Enter Scrambled Word: pplea
Leave "Pattern Matching" blank
Leave "Find Words of any length" unchecked

Then click Unscramble Word, and 1 result (apple) should appear if you're using the default Words.txt dictionary.

Example 2

Continuing from the previous example, if you wanted to unscramble pplea, and show all words that can be derived from those letters regardless of length, then fill out the Unscrambler options like so.

Enter Scrambled Word: pplea
Leave "Pattern Matching" blank
Check "Find Words of any length"

Then click Unscramble Word, and 13 results will appear.

Example 3

Still continuing with this example, let's say of those 13 results, you know you want your results to start with a. Here's how you'd fill out the Unscrambler options.

Enter Scrambled Word: pplea
Pattern Matching: a*
Check "Find Words of any length"

Then click Unscramble Word, and 4 results will appear, all starting with the letter a.
