Type the tiles you are holding and press Find. The finder checks every word in a 172,749-word English lexicon against your letters and keeps the ones you can actually spell, then sorts them longest first — because in nearly every tile game, length is what wins.

Blanks and wildcards

A ?, an asterisk or a plain space all mean the same thing: a blank tile that can become any letter. You can use up to three. Words that lean on a blank are scored honestly — a blank is worth nothing, so the finder charges it against the most valuable letter in the word rather than quietly counting it as a Z.

Narrowing the results

Four filters sit under the main box, and they stack:

Starts with — when you are building off a letter already on the board.
Contains — a run of letters anywhere in the word. Put an underscore where a letter is unknown, so a_e matches ace, ape and axe.
Ends with — useful for the suffixes that carry length: ing, ers, ion.
Length — pin the answer to the space you have.

Scoring, and why it differs per game

The number beside each word is the sum of its tile values. Those values are not the same everywhere: a J is worth 8 in Scrabble and 10 in Words With Friends, while an H drops from 4 to 3 going the other way. Pick the right game from the switch above the button or the ranking will quietly mislead you. Board multipliers are left out entirely — they depend on where the word lands, and a bonus-inclusive number would be a guess presented as a fact.

What it will not do

It will not tell you a word is legal in a specific game. The lexicon here is public-domain ENABLE, and every commercial game licenses its own list; the overlap is very large but not total. Treat a match as "this is an English word", not "this will be accepted", and check the game's own dictionary when a play matters.

Questions people ask

Do I need an account to use any of this?

No. There is no sign-up, no login and no paywall on any tool, list or game. Nothing here asks who you are.

Where do the words come from?

Every tool searches the same 172,749-word ENABLE lexicon, which is in the public domain. It is not the official word list of Scrabble, Words With Friends or any other game — those lists are licensed and differ in places, so a word found here can occasionally be rejected by a specific game. More about the word data.

Are my letters sent anywhere?

No. The dictionary is downloaded to your browser once and every search runs locally after that. Nothing you type leaves your device, which is also why the tools keep working when you go offline.

What does the score next to each word mean?

The face value of the tiles, using whichever game you picked. Board multipliers are excluded because they depend on where you place the word, which this site cannot know — so the number shown is the one you can verify by adding up the tiles in your hand.

How do I search when I only know part of the word?

Use the crossword solver and type a dot for each square you do not know — c.o..word. For letters in a known order with gaps between them, put the pattern in the Contains box instead, using an underscore per gap.

Can I use these tools while playing a game?

That is between you and whoever you are playing. They are built as reference and practice tools — for settling whether a word is real, for learning the two- and three-letter words that decide close games, and for finishing a puzzle that has stopped being fun.
