Unscrambler
Find every valid 5-letter word from your Wordle letters. Use the full Wordle Solver to filter by green, yellow, and gray tiles — or just unscramble any letters to see all 5-letter candidates in one click.
What Each Wordle Tile Color Means
Green tile — Correct letter, correct position
Lock this letter in — it is confirmed in this exact spot. Enter it as a fixed letter in the Wordle Solver. Your unscrambler search should also include this letter.
If position 3 is green C, your answer is _ _ C _ _
Yellow tile — Correct letter, wrong position
The letter is in the word but you guessed it in the wrong spot. It must appear somewhere else. In the Wordle Solver, enter it as a yellow tile — it filters for words containing that letter, but not in the position you guessed.
Yellow R in position 1 means R is in the word, but not first
Gray tile — Letter not in the word
This letter does not appear anywhere in the answer. Mark it as absent in the Wordle Solver to filter out every word containing it. Grays are powerful — each one eliminates hundreds of candidates.
Gray T eliminates STORE, STARE, TREAT, TRAIT, and thousands more
How to Unscramble Wordle Letters Step by Step
- 1
Make your first guess
Start with a strong opener: CRANE, SLATE, or RAISE. These hit the most common letters in 5-letter English words and give you green/yellow/gray clues to work from immediately.

Note your green letters
Every green tile locks in a letter at a specific position. After your first guess, note these — they are fixed in your word pattern. Enter them into the Wordle Solver in their exact slots.

Track yellow and gray letters
Yellow letters are in the word but in a different position. Gray letters are not in the word at all. Together these two clue types eliminate most of the possible answers by guess 3.

Pick your next guess from results
Choose a word from the filtered list that covers letters you haven't tested yet. A strategic guess that eliminates 2–3 new possibilities beats guessing randomly from what remains.
