What is an anagram?
An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another, using every original letter exactly once. "Listen" and "silent" are a classic pair — both use the letters e, i, l, n, s and t. Because every letter must be reused, anagrams are stricter than a general word search: a true anagram never adds or drops a letter, it only rearranges what is already there.
That distinction is what separates an anagram solver from a word unscrambler. An unscrambler finds every word you can build from some or all of your letters, including shorter ones. An anagram solver focuses only on words that use all of your letters at once, which is exactly what jumble puzzles, cryptic clues and anagram games ask for.
