How this solver works
Word Finder filters the site dictionary by pattern, include/exclude letters, and length so you can solve many puzzle formats from one page.
Tips for better results
- Use
?for unknown positions in the pattern box. - Set a tight length range before adding include/exclude letters.
- When stuck, remove one constraint at a time to locate conflicts quickly.
Worked example
Pattern ?A?E with include R and exclude T returns words containing R, fitting 4 letters, and avoiding T.
Edge case: if min and max length are equal, every result is hard-locked to that exact length.
Common mistakes
- Entering pattern letters that conflict with excluded letters.
- Using spaces or punctuation in include/exclude fields.
FAQs
- What does the pattern wildcard do?
- Each
?matches exactly one unknown letter. - Should I set both min and max length?
- Yes for precision; equal values force an exact length search.
- What is the fastest way to find puzzle words?
- Choose the matching mode, enter any fixed letters in the pattern field, add required letters in Must include, then exclude letters that cannot appear.
