Anagram Finder<\/a><\/p>\n

Sometimes you’re working on a wordplay project and need to find some anagrams.\u00a0 Where do you turn?\u00a0 The Internet Anagram Server<\/a> is good if you’re looking for arbitrary anagrams, but not great if you want your anagrams to be real phrases.\u00a0 Anagram Solver<\/a> is good but I have two complaints about it — its results may include misspellings<\/a> and its results are ordered alphabetically, not by any measure of commonness.\u00a0 Additionally … well, this is minor, but it’s 2021; they should really have a mobile-friendly site.<\/p>\n

So, with those issues in mind, we built our own anagram solver<\/a>. We already had a measure of commonness that we use for our Ranked Wikipedia lists<\/a> so it was pretty easy to leverage that here.\u00a0 And the results are pretty good, we think.\u00a0 Compare the results for spebad?? on anagram-solver<\/a> and on our anagram finder<\/a> and you tell us which one you think is more useful.<\/p>\n

Curious of how we went about finding anagrams with wild cards? As usual, all the source code is available on GitHub<\/a>, for both ranking Wikipedia pages and creating the anagram backend.\u00a0 Go forth and solve some anagrams!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
