How big is the dictionary?

The solver uses a built-in list of about 10,000 common English words, filtered to short everyday vocabulary. This keeps results practical for games and crosswords rather than returning obscure archaic forms.

Why do some anagrams not show up?

If a target word is not in the 10,000-word list, it will not appear. The list intentionally excludes very rare, archaic, or highly technical words that would crowd the results.

Does it handle partial anagrams or subsets?

This tool looks for exact anagrams only — every letter must be used exactly once. For subset searches use a Scrabble word finder that supports "contains these letters" queries.

What algorithm does it use?

It uses the classic sorted-key technique: sort the letters of the input alphabetically, then look up that key in a pre-built map from sorted-letters to matching words. It runs in constant time per search.
