Anagrams and word scrambles really are a great brain teaser that anyone can enjoy. Because the scrambled words get longer, it gets more and more difficult to figure out the what the scrambled word is. This article is an accumulation tips and tricks to assist you solve anagram puzzles more easily.

The key to a good anagram is in scrambling the letters of the term so that key sounds in the term are obscured. As an example the word "LAUNDRY" features a prominent "AU" sound in the midst of the term which when realized leaves the remaining anagram relatively simple to solve. An integral to solving anagrams is in breaking the term up into common prefixes, suffixes and letter combinations.

Common word prefixes (letter combinations which take up a word) are those such as "RE", "UN", "DE", "IN", "AB", "AD", "EX" ;.If you separate these from the remaining letters you will undoubtedly be left with a much smaller word to unscramble. Similarly you can pick out suffixes (word endings) such as "ING", "ISM", "ED", "ER", "RY", "OUS" ;.If you write out the term you're trying to unscramble and separate out these common prefixes and suffixes you've a much better possibility of deciphering the smaller word that remains. A brilliant anagram creator will try to avoid words which may have these sorts of patterns because of their harder puzzles. Unscramble Words As time passes you can assess the forms of words someone anagram creator will use.

Another technique is to eradicate letter combinations which can be very unlikely. Can you remember your old grammar rules from school such as "I before E, except after C"? Eliminating unlikely combinations - letters that rarely if ever appear next together in a word will yield good results. Letters such as 'S' and 'Y' are more frequently choices for the start or end of a word, so it's worth trying them there first. Discard these unusual word patterns and you should find you're left with useful ones.

If the anagram is situated around a theme attempt to write out as many words as you can keep company with the theme. As an example, if the theme was "trains" you could list "track", "rail", "carriage" etc. Trying to utilize these synonyms to the list will yield results.
