Word Unscrambler is built and maintained by a small team who play these games ourselves. This page explains how we produce and check the content on the site so you can trust what you read and the results the tool returns.

How word lists are generated

Every word list on the site is derived programmatically from the ENABLE English word list (~170,000 words), a publicly documented dictionary widely used by open-source word games. Lists such as “5-letter words starting with T” are produced by filtering that dictionary at request time — we do not hand-curate individual lists, so results stay consistent and reproducible. If a word appears in the ENABLE dictionary, it appears in our results.

How the unscrambler ranks results

  • Every candidate is checked against the dictionary — no invented words.
  • Results are grouped by length and, within a length, sorted alphabetically.
  • Filters (starts-with, ends-with, contains, required letter, length) are applied deterministically.
  • All computation runs in your browser; your letters never leave your device.

How articles are written and reviewed

  • Articles are drafted by our team, not auto-generated as marketing filler.
  • Every article is read end-to-end by a second team member before publishing.
  • Claims about game rules and dictionaries are checked against the game’s official documentation where available.
  • Articles are reviewed on at least an annual cadence, and updated when a game’s rules or dictionary changes.
  • We attribute articles to “the WordUnscramble.uk team” rather than invented author personas.

Independence from advertising

Ads served through Google AdSense support the site. Advertising has no influence over word-list results, article content, or which topics we cover.
