About these terms
These terms apply when you use unscramblewords4u.com (“Unscramble Words 4U”, “the site”). The site is run by Mark Davies (47 Ravenswood Road, London SW12 9PN), an individual based in England, United Kingdom (“we”, “us”). You can contact us at info@unscramblewords4u.com.
By using the site you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site. Our privacy policy and cookies page explain how we handle information.
The service
Unscramble Words 4U offers free word tools and games, such as an unscrambler, anagram solver, crossword helpers, hangman, a word search maker, Morse code tools and code and cipher tools. You don’t need an account. We may change, add or remove tools, or pause or stop the site, at any time.
Results and accuracy
- The tools are provided “as is” and “as available”. We try hard to make them useful and correct, but we don’t promise that results are complete, accurate or accepted by any game, competition, teacher or publisher.
- This is not an official dictionary for any game. Official word lists are owned by their publishers and are not used here, so a word may be allowed in a game but missing here, or the other way round.
- Word lists in languages other than English are made automatically from spelling dictionaries and have not all been checked by hand.
- The code and cipher tools are for fun and learning. They are not secure encryption: don’t use them to protect real secrets.
- Some games and competitions don’t allow word finders. It is up to you to follow the rules of what you are playing.
Health note: flashing light
The Morse code pages have an optional flashing light. Don’t turn it on if you, or anyone who can see the screen, has photosensitive epilepsy or is sensitive to flashing lights.
Using the site fairly
You may use the tools for yourself, at home, at school or at work. Please don’t:
- use robots, scrapers or other automated tools to copy large parts of the site or to put a heavy load on our hosting;
- try to break, hack, overload or get around the security of the site;
- copy the site, or large parts of it, to publish as your own;
- use the site for anything unlawful, harmful or misleading.
Linking to any page of the site is welcome.
Our content and the word lists
The design, text and code of the site belong to us, except where we say otherwise.
The word lists are used under their licences. They come from open sources such as SCOWL, ENABLE, Hunspell spelling dictionaries and FrequencyWords, and remain the work of their authors. Each one is used under its own licence, including the GNU GPL, GNU LGPL, Mozilla Public License, CC BY-SA and permissive licences. Those licences, not these terms, decide what you may do with the word lists themselves. See our Licences page and Our word list for the sources, credits and full licence texts.
Things you make with our tools, such as word search puzzles and Morse code sound files, are yours to use as you like, including printing them for a class.

Adverts and other websites
The site shows adverts from Google and links to other websites, such as Wiktionary. We don’t control those websites or adverts and are not responsible for them. Buying anything from an advertiser is between you and them.

We are not responsible for business losses, such as lost profits or lost opportunities.
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that the law does not allow us to limit or exclude. Nothing in these terms affects your legal rights as a consumer.
Children
Children are welcome to use the site. Younger children should use it with a parent, carer or teacher, especially because the site shows adverts that link to other websites. Our privacy policy explains how we look after children’s privacy.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time, for example when we add tools or the law changes. The date at the top shows the latest version. If you keep using the site after a change, the new terms apply.
Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales can deal with any dispute. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring a claim in your local courts. If you live in the EU, you keep any protection that the law of your country gives you and cannot be taken away by agreement.
If any part of these terms turns out to be invalid, the rest still applies.
