-An '''anagram solver''', also known as an '''anagrammer''' is an online tool that rearranges the letters of the words to make words. In [[Countdown]], it's preferable to have tools that find the longest words. Solvers are often used for games played over [[MSN Messenger]] to find the best words available in the [[letters game|letters rounds]]. Anagram solvers and programs can be used for other things that are not directly useful to Countdowners. For example proper nouns, solutions made up of more than one word, other languages and most importantly, contain words that are not allowed in the OED and omits words which are in it.
