Founder & Word Puzzle Editor
Hussain Bin Ali (HA) is the founder and word puzzle editor of Jumble Solver.
He has written online since 2022. Today his work centers on the Daily Jumble, a newspaper puzzle that is widely syndicated.
On jumblesolver.info he builds free solvers that check letters against three word lists: NWL (US and Canada), CSW (UK and Australia), and ENABLE.
He also writes the daily answer posts and the word-by-word notes that go with them.
He maintains a puzzle generator, printable worksheets for classrooms and families, and the Jumble Solver Android app.

What Hussain works on
- The jumble solver and multi-word solver, which check letters against three word lists: NWL (US and Canada), CSW (UK and Australia) and ENABLE.
- The daily answer posts, including the solving notes on each word page and the explanation of each caption pun.
- The puzzle generator and printable worksheets for classrooms and families.
- The Jumble Solver Android app, which runs the same solver, offline with its built-in NWL word list.
How he works
Explain the answer
A bare answer list helps for a minute. A page that shows why KMAERB is EMBARK, and not BAKER, helps with tomorrow’s puzzle too.
Check puns by hand
Caption answers like “FEE-ASCO” are not in any dictionary. Each one is checked against the circled letters by hand, and the post explains the joke.
Name the word list
“Is it a real word?” depends on the list. The solver lets you pick NWL, CSW, or ENABLE, so a match is never vague. On Android, NWL works offline.
Fix mistakes in public
Papers sometimes print different letters. An answer can also be wrong. Email hello@jumblesolver.info and the page will be corrected.
How the answer pages are put together
Each daily post lists the scrambled words, the circled letters, and the caption answer.
Single-word answers are checked against the solver's word lists. Caption answers are often puns that no dictionary contains (“FEE-ASCO”, “PAIR-A-PHRASE”). Those are checked by hand against the circled letters, and the post explains the joke.
Every word page adds notes for those specific letters: the chunk to trust, the near-miss that wastes time, and how the word feeds the caption.

Path
- 2022
Started writing
Began writing online. That habit later grew into Jumble Solver.
- 2026
Launched Jumble Solver
Built jumblesolver.info. Daily Jumble answers started in September 2026, with solvers, a puzzle generator, and worksheets.
- Now
Word by word
Publishes daily answers, a breakdown page for every word and caption, and the Android app that runs the same solver offline.
Away from the desk
Gym
Strength training is a counterweight to desk work. Showing up for plain sets is the same habit that gets a daily post finished.
Swimming
No screen and no letters. Just counting lengths after a morning of scrambled words.
Cricket
A long team game. Patience matters as much as talent.
Snooker
Planning a few shots ahead is not so different from choosing which scrambled word to solve first.
