How to Unscramble Anagrams : Some Key Tips
Anagrams and word scrambles are a great brain teaser that everyone can enjoy. As the scrambled words get longer, it gets more and more difficult to figure out the what the scrambled word is. This article is a collection of tips and tricks to help you solve anagram questions more readily.
The key to a good anagram is in struggling the letters of the word so that key sounds in the word are obscured Unscramble Words. Including the word “LAUNDRY” has a prominent “AU” sound in the middle of the word which when realized leaves other anagram not too difficult to end. A key to fixing anagrams is in breaking the word up into common prefixes, suffixes and letter combining.
Common word prefixes (letter combining which take up a word) are those such as “RE”, “UN”, “DE”, “IN”, “AB”, “AD”, “EX”. If you separate these from other letters you will 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 word you're trying to unscramble and separate out these common prefixes and suffixes you have a much better chance of deciphering the smaller word that remains. A clever anagram creator will resist words which have these types of patterns for their harder questions. Over time you can gauge the types of words an individual anagram creator use.
Another technique is to eliminate letter combining that are very unlikely. Do you remember your old syntax rules from school such as “I before E, except after C”? Eliminating unlikely combining : letters that rarely if appear next to one another in a word will yield good results. Letters such as 'S' and 'Y' are more frequently options for the commencement or end of a word, so it is worth trying them there first. Throw out these unusual word patterns and you should find you're left with useful ones.
