Word Finder

You’ve got a handful of letters, a blank tile, or a partial pattern from a crossword or word game, and you need a list of real words that match. That’s exactly what this tool does: you type in what you know, apply a few filters, and get back only the words that fit your current puzzle. No fluff, no waiting.

Start with what you’re sure of

Enter the letters you have, even if they’re out of order. If you know the word length, set it. If a letter must be in a specific spot, use a pattern like S?R? (where ? is any letter). The tool works best when you give it the strongest clue first - length is usually the fastest way to shrink the list.

Narrow down without guessing

Once you see the initial results, add one filter at a time. For example, if you need a word that starts with C and ends with E, set those two filters. If the list is still too long, exclude letters you’ve already ruled out. The goal is to get a short, scannable list, not a dictionary dump.

When you have wildcards or blanks

If you’re playing Scrabble or Words With Friends and have a blank tile, enter ? in the letter input. The tool treats it as any letter. You can also use multiple blanks - just keep in mind the more blanks you add, the longer the result list will be. Start with a length filter to keep it manageable.

Check your results against game rules

This tool pulls from a standard English dictionary. Before you play a word, double-check that it’s allowed in your specific game (some games use a smaller word list). The results are a starting point, not a guarantee.

Pattern search example

When fixed positions matter, start with the pattern field. A shape like ?ra?e removes the wrong lengths and wrong positions before you add looser contains or exclude rules.
