Our purpose
A five-letter puzzle often starts with incomplete information: one fixed letter, a pair that must appear somewhere, or several letters that cannot be used. The finder turns those clues into a useful shortlist without complicated search syntax.
How the finder works
Place known letters in exact positions, require or exclude other letters, or add a prefix, suffix, or sequence. Matching happens inside your browser, so your clues are not submitted to our server.
What the list means
English has no single universal word list. Our list is based on the English Speller Database and favors American spelling, but individual games may use different sources. See Sources & Methodology for the full selection rules.
