I've been building Word Scrambler a free, browser based toolkit for word game players who get stuck and want an instant answer.

It started as a single word unscrambler, but grew into 10 tools sharing one dictionary: a word unscrambler, anagram solver, Wordle solver, Quordle solver, dictionary/word validity checker, random word generator, Wordfeud helper, and a searchable word-lists explorer.

A few things I focused on while building it out:

A 246,000+ word dictionary as the shared backend across every tool, so results stay consistent whether you're checking Scrabble validity or solving a Wordle
Wildcard support you can search with unknown letters (e.g. w_rd) up to 15 characters
No signup, no friction every tool is usable instantly, since the whole point is solving something while you're mid-game, not creating an account first

It's aimed at daily players across Scrabble, Words With Friends, Wordfeud, Wordscapes, and Wordle/Quordle streak keepers.

Would love feedback from anyone who's built dictionary based tools before curious how others have handled fast lookups at this word count scale.
