Have you ever wanted to know all the words you could make out of the letters of your own name? No? Well what about all the words that the letters in your Scrabble hand make? Ahh, now I’ve got your attention.
With this great free iPhone app [1] , you can do exactly that. It’s a simple interface, where you simply type in your letters and hit “solve” and it tells you all the words you can make. This would make a great tool to use with Scrabble, Words with Friends or any other word game where you may get stuck once in awhile.
But, wait, you’re thinking. Isn’t that cheating? It could be, but I like to see it as a handy helper that you use only in those times when you are really stuck. Kind of like the Scrabble dictionary you can use on the app. While you can’t use the dictionary when you’re playing the board game with your family, it’s built right in with the electronic version. Is that cheating? Nope, it’s just a tool to be used when you have no other option.
Of course this doesn’t mean that people won’t use it on every single hand, which would in fact be cheating, but if you’re playing an unknown opponent who could be anywhere in the world, you have to expect that in this day and age where anything can happen, that maybe there’s a little bit of cheating going on.
So who is this app for? It’s for anyone who has a group of letters in which they quickly want to find out the various words that those letters make. It could be for word games, to find out the words your name makes, or to simply rearrange letters to make different words for fun. Whatever reason that is, is up to you.
The interface of the game is simple and to the point. Type your word or letters, hit solve and you’re done. There are two versions, Jumbled Word Helper and Jumbled Word Helper Max (both free iPhone apps [2] at this time). The original version simply rearranges the words and gives you words that contain all of the letters, while the Max version will give you various words using any of the letters in your original list.
If you’re looking for a word jumbler that’s easy to use and you can keep in your pocket, then this is the perfect solution. What you do with it is up to you.
