How to Use the Word Finder

Enter known letters in their exact positions, add letters you know are in the word but whose position is uncertain, and list any letters to exclude. The tool filters the full 12,478-word dataset in real time and returns only words that match every condition at once. You can combine position locks, must-include letters, and exclusions in a single query.

Wordle and Scrabble Filters

For Wordle, start by entering green letters in their fixed positions and yellow letters in the must-include field. As guesses narrow the candidate pool, add grey letters to the exclude field. The filter updates instantly so you can compare remaining options before committing to a guess. For Scrabble, use the position fields to match a pattern on the board, or filter by must-include letters to check which scoring words your tiles can form.

Common 5-Letter Word Searches

Popular starting points: words beginning with S, C, or T; words ending in E or Y; and words with no repeated letters for maximum information gain in Wordle. Use the filter above to drill down from any of these starting sets.
