What is the best strategy for solving scrambled words? |
[Edit] |
Answer
A useful strategy is to look for letters that go together, such as "cr," "sh," "ph," and so on, or to identify common prefixes or suffixes.
Because unscrambling can require extensive English proficiency, reading often will help improve your vocabulary.
If you really get stuck, there are tools on the internet that will show all the possible combinations of the letters, such as http://www.unscramble.net/.

If I need to unscramble a word, the first thing I do is to write down the vowels in one group, and the consonants in another. Seeing the letters in this way helps me to see new possible arrangements.
If you own a set of scabble, or wordfinder or something similar, using the letter tiles and mixing them around is a good way to solve anagrams.
