Word Unscrambler

Since there are only so many letters in the alphabet, but an abundance of words to build with them, multiple words can have the same number and type of characters, but arranged differently. The practice of rearranging letters to form other words is called anagram, and you can easily experiment with this trait thanks to Word Unscrambler.

The application comes in a lightweight package, which only requires a little of your time and effort to make it work. However, you must check whether or not .NET Framework is installed on the computer you want to use it on, because it’s mandatory functionality requirement, even though it’s a default feature in modern Windows iterations.

All features are stored in a simple window interface, which makes accommodation a walk in the park. However, you can still end up scratching your head for a while at first when noticing nothing appears, regardless of the character set, or text string you write down in the input field.

Unfortunately, this is caused by the empty dictionary the application comes with, which has a major impact on practicality. This means you need to spend a great deal of time to build the database before you can actually use the application for what it really was designed to do.

Moreover, the dictionary can’t be opened through a plain text editor to simply paste multiple words. What’s more, adding new items is done one word at a time, which quickly becomes frustrating. Note that hitting the “add” button more times can create duplicate entries. Only when the dictionary is build does the application return all possible combinations of your word input.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Word Unscrambler comes with good intentions, but without a proper database to look in for new words, practicality has a lot to suffer. Too much time needs to be spent configuring the dictionary, which can make you look for alternatives from the first few moments of use.
