Separate vowels and consonants
Most English words need a workable vowel shape. Sort your letters into vowels and consonants, then try alternating them into likely patterns. If you have three vowels and four consonants, test shapes such as consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel-consonant before forcing unusual clusters.
Look for word parts
Prefixes and suffixes shrink the puzzle. Endings like -ed, -er, -est, -ing, and -s quickly turn a jumble into a smaller core word. Common beginnings such as re-, un-, and pre- can do the same.
With rescue, for instance, you can test the re- beginning, then discover secure, recuse, and rescue by moving the remaining letters around that pattern.
Practice method
- Try to find one full anagram without help.
- Search the same letters with "use all letters" enabled.
- Compare the answers to the patterns you missed.
- Repeat with a new set of letters and watch for recurring endings.
