How MEAN was unscrambled

Unscrambling does not mean testing every arrangement of MEAN. Instead, every word in the dictionary is filed under a fingerprint made by sorting its letters alphabetically. Sorting these 4 letters gives aemn, and every subset of them is looked up directly against that index.

That is why the result is exhaustive rather than a best guess. All 24 words shown here are every word the dictionary contains that can be built from these letters, with nothing omitted.

Playing the letters MEAN

Since NAME uses all 4 letters, it is the play to look for first — in Scrabble, using all seven tiles from a full rack earns a 50-point bingo bonus on top of the word score.
