$6M/Year From a Website That Just Unscrambles Words

Type in some scrambled letters, get back real words. That’s the entire product.

It’s called WordUnscrambler.me, and it gets around 8 million visitors a month – mostly people cheating at Scrabble and Words With Friends 👀

Ramesh Jha, a solo developer in Bihar, India, built it as a weekend project back in 2014…

I created this website as a fun weekend project in 2014. Now, it has become one of my main web projects – serving millions of users each month.

Revenue via Google display ads. No products, no content, no audience to maintain.

Estimates of what it earns range from around $1M to $6M a year, depending on whose ad-rate math you trust. Either way: life-changing money from anagrams 🤯

The wholesome part? Ramesh funds a non-profit and a free public library in his village with the profits.

He runs a dozen of these simple tool sites too – a scrabble finder, a syllable counter, a port checker – pulling 17M+ monthly visitors combined 📈

You don’t need to clone his exact site. Pick a boring, evergreen utility – a niche calculator, converter, or generator – build it fast with AI and monetize it with display ads.
