The "WordJumble" applet in action

WARNING: Entering any more than six characters in this applet is not recommended. The calculations will take quite some time.

The WordJumble applet

The WordJumble applet should be running in an area just above these words.

Just enter the characters from your Word Jumble into the text field at the top of the applet, then hit the "Calculate" button. The applet will determine all possible word combinations from the characters you enter.

WARNING: Do not enter more than six characters into the WordJumble text field above! Six characters will result in the calculation of 720 possible words, which isn't too bad, but seven characters will result in over 5,000 possible combinations. Calculating this many options will take anywhere between a few moments and several minutes, depending on the speed of your system.
