How to use these lists

Start broad, then add the clue that removes the most words.

Each page begins with every matching entry in our five-letter dictionary. The list keeps the source's common-first tier order by default, and you can switch to alphabetical order whenever scanning is easier.

A first or final letter rarely identifies an answer alone. Look next for a fixed position, a required sequence, or a letter that the puzzle has ruled out, then continue in the full finder.
