Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use wildcards effectively?

Use the question mark (?) to represent any single unknown letter. You can use up to 5 wildcards in one search. For example, "B??K" will find BOOK, BANK, BACK, BEAK, and more. Combine wildcards with filters for more precise results.

What's the difference between a letter solver and an anagram solver?

A letter solver finds words that match a specific pattern with missing letters (like C?T = CAT, COT, CUT). An anagram solver rearranges a set of letters to form different words (like STOP = TOPS, SPOT, POTS). Use letter solver when you know letter positions, anagram solver when you need to rearrange.

Can I find phrases or multiple words?

Our letter solver focuses on single words for optimal performance. For phrases, solve each word individually. For example, if solving "THE ???T" in Wheel of Fortune, search for 4-letter words ending in T that commonly follow "THE".

Which dictionary should I use?

Choose based on your activity: Scrabble dictionary for Scrabble games, Words With Friends for WWF, or standard English for general puzzles and crosswords. The standard dictionary includes the most common words and is best for educational purposes.
