The Anagrind: Anagram Helper

There are apps that solve anagrams for you. This isn't one of them. The Anagrind is for cryptic crossword solvers who do their own work. It's a solving workspace — a digital version of the scrap paper you've always used — that helps you see the letters differently without ever handing you the answer. The satisfaction of cracking a clue is yours. We just help you get there. HOW IT WORKS • SET UP THE CLUE: Enter your anagram fodder and set an optional enumeration to match the answer's shape. Use ? for unknown letters to create assignable blank tiles, then scatter them onto the board. Extra fodder letters can be dragged into discard slots to handle deletion indicators. • ADD THE DEFINITION: Pin an optional definition so you stay anchored to what you're looking for. • WORK THE BOARD: Drag letters into slots, fade out ones you'd like to hide, or lock in certainties. Split letters into vowels and consonants. Tap rescramble for a fresh perspective, or long-press it to return all unlocked letters to the board. • PINCH TO SORT: Pinch the board to instantly split tiles into vowels and consonants. Is Y a vowel/consonant? Your choice. • THE FINISH: The word emerges through your effort. The Anagrind just holds the letters. BUILT FOR SERIOUS SOLVERS The Anagrind speaks your language. Anagram fodder. Enumerations. Definitions. Anagrind — the indicator word that signals the anagram. The app is built around how cryptic crossword solvers actually think, not how casual puzzle fans play word games. Whether you solve the SMH, the Guardian, the Times, the Telegraph, the Financial Times or The Australian, The Anagrind is the workspace you've been doing without. THE ANAGRIND PRO Upgrade once, own it forever. No subscription. No tricks. Pro unlocks up to 12 simultaneous clue boards — because sometimes you're holding three unsolved anagrams at once and the letters from one might unlock another. Save and restore named sessions so Saturday's puzzle can wait until Sunday without losing your work. YOUR SOLVE. YOUR PRIDE. The Anagrind doesn't hand you anything. It just helps you see more clearly.
