About Simple Anagram Helper
Simple Anagram Helper is a thinking tool for anagrams, cryptic crossword clues and word puzzles. It gives you the tools to work the answer out yourself, and when you're truly stuck, it can show you the words hiding in your letters. WORK IT OUT YOUR WAY Type in your letters and tap Start. Each letter becomes a tile you can move with your finger or mouse. • Scatter the tiles across a workspace and drag them around, just like pieces of paper on a desk. Drag the bar to make the workspace as big as you like. • Prefer to work in a row? Tap Fill Boxes to line the letters up, then drag tiles between boxes to try new orders. • Shuffle the tiles to break your fixation on one reading. If some tiles are already placed, only the loose ones move. • Lock a tile when you're sure of it. Locked tiles stay put while you rearrange the rest. • Undo and redo your moves, so experimenting never costs you progress. • Zoom the tiles up or down to suit your eyes and your screen. Your puzzle is saved as you go, so you can leave and pick up exactly where you left off. STUCK? ASK FOR THE ANSWER When you've given it your best shot, tap Solve Puzzle. The app asks you to confirm first, so a stray tap won't spoil the fun. Then it lists every dictionary word that uses all of your letters. The word list is built into the app, so it works offline and nothing leaves your device. FREE TO USE Puzzles of up to 6 letters are free, forever, with every tool included. New users also get unlimited letters free for their first two weeks. After that, a monthly or yearly subscription unlocks unlimited letters for long anagrams and cryptic clues. WORKS EVERYWHERE Simple Anagram Helper runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac. On iPhone it can switch to landscape automatically for long puzzles, so every letter fits in one row. Subscriptions are billed to your Apple Account and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings. Privacy Policy: https://eslaforde.com/privacy/ Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
What’s new
Version 3.0 · Updated October 3, 2026

Longer puzzles still come free for your first two weeks, with a subscription for unlimited letters after that. • New: Solve Puzzle. Simple Anagram Helper is still built for working the answer out yourself with tiles, shuffling, locking and undo. But when you're really stuck, you can now tap Solve Puzzle to list the words that use all of your letters. You'll be asked to confirm first, so you only see the answer when you want to. The word list is built in and works offline. • Clearer messages when a puzzle is longer than the free limit, with a reminder of how to unlock unlimited letters.
