Live GitHub-flavored Markdown preview with tables, code blocks, and task lists.
Lorem Ipsum Generator

Word Unscrambler
Find every valid English word from a set of letters.
Common text tasks
Hitting a word count
The word counter updates as you type, so you can paste a draft and trim or expand to a target. Reading time is computed at 225 words/minute (a standard adult-non-fiction pace), and speaking time at 130 wpm (a typical conference-talk pace) — useful when you're prepping a script or a deck.
Switching naming conventions
Renaming a variable from userId to user_id is a one-second job in any IDE, but doing it for a list of 50 fields when porting between languages or systems is tedious. The case converter handles every common convention: UPPER, lower, Title Case, Sentence case, camelCase, PascalCase, snake_case, kebab-case, CONSTANT_CASE. Paste a list, pick the target, copy the result.
Previewing Markdown before publishing
The Markdown previewer renders GitHub-flavored Markdown side-by-side as you type. Useful when drafting a README, a Substack post, or a Slack canvas — anywhere the rendering target supports GFM.
Generating placeholder text
The Lorem Ipsum generator outputs the canonical placeholder text in any quantity (sentences, paragraphs, or words). Use this for design mockups where you want to see how a layout handles real text density without creating fake-looking copy.
Word games and anagrams
The word unscrambler takes a set of letters and returns every valid English word that can be made from them, sorted by length. Helpful for Scrabble, Words with Friends, or just fishing for a name idea from a few letters.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my word count differ from Microsoft Word?
It usually doesn't — both tools count tokens separated by whitespace and treat hyphenated phrases as one word. The most common discrepancy is footnotes and table cells, which Word counts but a textarea-based tool doesn't see.
Does the case converter preserve abbreviations and acronyms?
The converter applies the rule literally — Title Case will lowercase everything except the first letter of each word, including abbreviations. If you need to preserve acronyms like API, run the converter and then manually fix them, or keep your input already-acronym-cased and pick a transform that doesn't recase letters within words (snake_case, kebab-case).
Is the Markdown preview safe — can I paste arbitrary content?
Yes. The previewer uses marked with HTML escaping enabled, so script tags or other dangerous markup in the input will be rendered as text, not executed.
What dictionary does the word unscrambler use?
The English Open Word List (EOWL), about 270k words. It's a standard list used by many word-game sites. It includes common words, less common words, archaic forms, and proper nouns — so expect some hits you wouldn't recognise.
