Is this a free online anagram game?

Yes. The core game is free and needs no account. Choose a local timed or untimed round, enter words made from its letter tiles, and review the answers when you finish. The dictionary loads from this site when you explicitly start or resume a round.

Can I play a six-letter anagram game?

Choose Local round, set Rack size to 6 letters, and choose a minimum word length from 2 to 6. Set Seconds to 0 for untimed practice or enter a whole-number timer, then choose Start new round. Seven-, eight- and nine-letter racks are also available. The seed and settings reproduce the same rack; the fixed 60-second challenge always uses nine letters.

Can I play on an iPhone?

Open this page in a current browser on your iPhone. Rounds run in the browser and require Web Workers and SHA-256 dictionary verification; unavailable features show a load error. No app installation is needed. Timed rounds continue while the page is hidden, and saved progress stays in that browser.

Which dictionary checks the words?

The game uses the existing public-domain ENABLE 1.0 file with 172823 words, 1743363 bytes and SHA-256 3f16130220645692ed49c7134e24a18504c2ca55b3c012f7290e3e77c63b1a89. Its byte length, hash, count and sorted lowercase entries are verified before a round starts. ENABLE includes uncommon and inflected forms and is not a proprietary official-game list.

How are the letter racks created?

The version 1 algorithm selects a dictionary word of the chosen length using the seed, then shuffles its letters. It enumerates every dictionary word that fits the rack's letter counts and minimum length. This gives each rack at least one honest answer. The same seed, settings and pinned dictionary reproduce the same rack and complete answer set.

Can I reuse a letter tile within one word?

Each tile may be used once per word. For example, A A C T can form ACT or CAT, but TACT needs a second T tile. The same rack can be reused for different submitted words. Input is case-insensitive, and a repeated accepted word never adds another point.

Does shuffling change the score or answers?

No. Shuffle letters changes only the visible order of the existing tiles. The multiset of letters, complete answer set, score and elapsed time stay the same. A different seed may still produce the same rack letters; previously opened equivalent racks remain practice.

How do timed and untimed rounds end?

Local timers accept 0 to 86400 whole seconds, with 0 meaning untimed. Timed rounds use monotonic elapsed time and continue while the page is hidden. A round ends when time expires, all available words are found, or you choose End round now. Ending early can complete local play but cannot share a canonical challenge score.

What are the fixed challenge rules?

A canonical challenge has nine letters, 60 seconds, a three-letter minimum and the pinned ENABLE dictionary. Its score is the unique accepted word count; higher is better. Finish at the time limit or find every answer, with at least one valid word and no early reveal, to share a fresh score. The recipient starts the same rack explicitly, compares exact counts and can reshare their own result.

Can I reveal or review every answer?

Yes. Reveal answers and end round opens the complete alphabetized answer set and makes an unfinished round assisted practice. After a fresh round has already ended, Review all answers keeps its already earned result. The complete review is paginated, and copied or downloaded review text contains every answer rather than only the current page.

What is kept in local history?

Touched settings, entered words and completed-round records are stored only in this browser. Unentered answers are regenerated from the pinned dictionary. Resuming or reviewing a saved round verifies its exact rack and accepted words again; restored and replayed rounds cannot earn independent challenge scores. A storage failure is reported instead of silently deleting older records.

What happens if dictionary loading fails?

No unverified rack is published. The page keeps your settings and previous complete round, shows the specific load or verification error, and offers a retry. The fixed same-origin dictionary is loaded only after an explicit start or resume; rack construction runs in a cancellable worker.

Anagram Word Game

Play a free online anagram game with seeded racks of six to nine letters. Use each tile once per word, shuffle the rack without changing its letters, and collect unique accepted words. Play with your own timer and minimum length, review the complete answer set, or send someone the same fixed 60-second challenge.

A deterministic rack is built from a verified dictionary word, so it always has at least one honest answer. Unentered answers stay out of the active page until you request review.
