Pros and cons of Anagram Solver - Crosswords app for iPhone and iPad

Anagram Solver - Crosswords app good for

I was pleasantly surprised by its ease of use and dynamic options. I was quite satisfied for a while, until I started noticing that the displayed results were far from being complete: They fairly regularly were missing some common combinations. Despite this shortcoming, it is still very impressive and user- friendly. It misses far less than I can on my very best days.

Easy to use and I like that I can unscramble two words at the same time.

This is a great app for solving crosswords and other word puzzles and it will also help you create or solve anagrams. However the "anagrams" may not use every letter you entered. It gives you a bunch of words (results include a lot of obscure words and place names— most Ive never heard of) and most of the results will not have used every letter—which is the object of an anagram. Thats a tough order I know, but an improvement would be adding a letter count next to the original and results so you would know right away if all letters were used to make a true anagram.

If you want true anagrams, this app will do it. In fact, it has a number of capabilities. I read a review that criticized it for including words that do not use all the submitted letters, which would indeed not be a true anagram. So I was surprised when I used it and only true anagrams were revealed. Upon closer inspection, I learned that this app has several different modes. 1) "Anagrams" will make only true anagrams. 2) "Crosswords" can help solve crossword puzzles by allowing you to indicate missing letters, then finding words that will satisfy the parameters you gave. It even links you to definitions, so you know which word to use. 3) "Sub Words" gives all words that can be made with the word or letters you enter. It begins with true anagrams and works all the way down to two-letter words. 4) "Wildcard" allows you to enter part of a word and it will give you words that use those letters. For example, if you enter "@ard", it will give you "hard", "bard" and "wildcard", etc. 5) "Two Words" allows you to enter a space and it will match words that fit within the spaces. For example, "james bond" will give you "named jobs". To switch modes, swipe the screen to the left or right. It has features that make using some of these modes even easier, such as entering "j9" to get all 9-letter words starting with j. I am a bit of a word nerd, and I think this is a terrific app! Highly recommended!!!

Some bad moments

I love this app! I like to play word games but sometimes I end up stumped and super frustrated. This app is the perfect boost to get me back on my game. I love that it will find any word within a set of letters and not just words that use all the letters. Its super easy to use and very helpful

The app is just ok. It will find about 40 to 50 percent of the words in an anagram

I like word games and occasionally get stumped and need some help to continue. In those rare cases, I turn to Anagram Solver. It works really quickly, provides all useful possibilities, and has a pleasingly minimalist design.

This is a fast and accurate application for turning a collection of letters into words. It is unbelievably speedy. The only way that I can see they could make it better would be if they provided for multiple words from a single source of letters.

Been using this app for a couple of months now and only had one word it couldnt find. Helps me cheat at jumline and text twist. :-)

Great app. Its a go to when I get stuck. Would like it more if it would do complete 3or 4 word phrase.
