-
Narrow It with a Pattern
Add a starting letter, an ending, or a run of letters that has to appear somewhere. Each one cuts the list down, and you can use all three together.

Work Down from the Longest

Word finder questions, answered
Can I search by starting and ending letters at once?
Yes. Starts with, ends with and contains can all be used together, and the results match every condition you set.
Does "contains" mean the letters have to be together?
Yes. It looks for that exact run of letters somewhere in the word, so ART matches CARTON but not RATIO.
Can I find words of one specific length?
Yes. Results are grouped by length, so scroll to the group you need — or set a length and see only those.
What are the question marks for?
A question mark or an asterisk is a wildcard standing for any single letter, which is how you handle a blank tile.
Which dictionary does it search?
A general English dictionary in the spelling you have set. For words that are definitely playable in Scrabble, use the Scrabble word finder, which searches the Scrabble lexicon instead.
