About Unscrambling GAN

The letters GAN (g, a, n) can be rearranged into 6 different words, the longest of which are 3-letter words. Every one of those words is listed in full above — nothing is hidden behind a click or a script.

Definition: an unscramble is the act of rearranging a jumbled set of letters back into valid dictionary words. Unlike a simple anagram (which must use every letter exactly once), unscrambling also finds every shorter sub-word that can be built from a subset of those letters.

GAN is a valid word in the TWL dictionary, worth 4 points in Scrabble and 6 points in Words With Friends before board multipliers.

How We Calculated These Words

Every candidate above was looked up by its alphabetical signature— the letters of the word sorted into A–Z order. Two words share a signature if and only if they contain the same letters, which is what makes anagram and sub-anagram lookups instant instead of O(n!). We then subtract each candidate's per-letter counts from your input's counts, drawing on the wildcard pool for any deficit, so only words you actually have the tiles to spell are returned.
