How to Add a Word Unscrambler to Your Website

LK Forge · 4 min read · Updated July 2026

You can add a full word unscrambler to any website, blog, or classroom page with a single line of code — free, with no sign-up, no plugin, and no script to install. Visitors type in their letters and it instantly lists every valid word they can make, from the longest plays down to two-letter words. This guide covers the fastest way to embed the Word Unscrambler, how to preload letters, and where it works.

The quickest way: paste one embed snippet

An embed is just an <iframe> that loads the unscrambler from lkforge.com, plus a small credit line. Copy this into your page’s HTML where you want the tool to appear:

<iframe src="https://lkforge.com/embed/wordunscrambler/"
        width="100%" height="640" loading="lazy"
        style="border:0;max-width:560px"
        title="Word Unscrambler by LK Forge"></iframe>
<p><a href="https://lkforge.com/tools/wordunscrambler/">Word Unscrambler</a>
   by <a href="https://lkforge.com/">LK Forge</a></p>

The <iframe> is the live tool; the <p> underneath is a plain credit link. Keep that line — the visible link is what keeps the widget free to embed. You can also copy this exact code straight from the “Add This Word Unscrambler to Your Website” section on the tool page.

Preload letters with ?q=

By default the widget opens with an empty box for visitors to fill in. To start it on a specific rack — useful for a puzzle page or a worked example — add a q parameter with the letters:

https://lkforge.com/embed/wordunscrambler/?q=retain

The widget fills in those letters and runs the search automatically as it loads, so the results are on screen the moment the page opens. Use ? or * in the letters for a blank tile that matches anything.

Where it works

Because it is a standard iframe, the embed works anywhere you can add HTML:

  • WordPress: add a Custom HTML block and paste the snippet.
  • Squarespace: use a Code / Embed block.
  • Wix: add an Embed HTML / iframe element.
  • Ghost: insert an HTML card.
  • Notion: paste the /embed/wordunscrambler/ URL and choose "Create embed".
  • Plain HTML, an intranet, or a lesson page: paste the snippet straight into the markup.

That’s the whole job. Copy the embed code from the Word Unscrambler page and paste it wherever a word-game blog, a Scrabble help post, or a classroom activity needs an instant word finder.

Grab the embed code from the 'Add this Word Unscrambler to your website' section on the tool page — free, no sign-up.

Frequently asked questions

Is embedding the word unscrambler free?
Yes. The word unscrambler is free to embed on any site, with no account, no API key and no usage limits. It runs entirely in your visitor’s own browser using a bundled word list, so there is no server cost — we only ask that you keep the small "Word Unscrambler by LK Forge" credit line that comes with the embed code.
Which words does it find — is it the same as the full tool?
It is identical to the full tool. The embed loads the same ENABLE word list of roughly 172,800 words, so it returns exactly the same results, grouped by length from longest to shortest, with Scrabble and Words With Friends tile values. ENABLE is a free, openly-licensed list widely used by open-source word games; it is not the copyrighted NASPA (TWL) or Collins (CSW) tournament list.
Can I preload the widget with a set of letters?
Yes. Add a q parameter to the embed URL with the letters you want solved — for example /embed/wordunscrambler/?q=retain. The widget fills in those letters and runs the search automatically as soon as it loads, which is handy for a puzzle page or a worked example in a blog post. Leave q off and visitors simply type their own letters.
Does it work with blank tiles and filters?
Yes. Visitors can use ? or * as a blank that stands in for any letter, and the Options panel inside the widget filters results by length, starting letter, ending letter, or a required middle sequence — the same controls as the full tool.
Where can I embed it — WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Notion?
Anywhere you can add HTML, because it is a standard iframe. In WordPress use a Custom HTML block; in Squarespace a Code/Embed block; in Wix an Embed HTML element; in Ghost an HTML card; in Notion paste the /embed/wordunscrambler/ URL as an embed. On a plain HTML page or an intranet, paste the snippet straight into the markup.
Does the embedded unscrambler track visitors or set cookies?
No. Everything runs locally in the visitor’s browser — the letters they enter are never sent to a server. The embed sets no tracking cookies and sends no analytics, so it is safe to place on a privacy-sensitive site, an intranet, or a page for children.
