About the Word Finder

Word Finder unscrambles your letters into every word they can make, from the longest down to two letters, with the tile points each word scores. Add a ? for a blank tile. The filters find words that start with, end with or contain certain letters, match a crossword pattern such as ?ra?e, or must include or leave out letters, which is handy for 5-letter guessing games. It uses the ENABLE word list, the open list behind many word games, and marks everyday words so you can tell a real word from an obscure one. Every length and letter also has its own list page, such as 5 letter words starting with A.

How to use it

1 Type the letters you have, using ? for a blank tile.
2 Press Find words to see every word, longest and highest scoring first.
3 Open the filters to set a pattern, a start or end, a length or letters to leave out.
4 Or browse a word list by length and letter.

Frequently asked questions

How many 5 letter words are there?

There are 8,577 five-letter words in the ENABLE word list used by most word games, leaving out offensive words.

What are some common 5 letter words?

Those, known, these, about, could, other, right, taken.

What is the highest scoring of the 5 letter words?

JAZZY scores 33 points with standard word game tile values, before any bonus squares.

Which word list does the word finder use?

The ENABLE list (Enhanced North American Benchmark Lexicon), a public-domain list of about 170,000 words used by many word games and apps. Everyday words are marked using the 12dicts frequency lists by Alan Beale. Slurs are left out, and offensive words are left off the list pages.

Are these words valid in Scrabble or Words With Friends?

Almost all of them, but each game has its own dictionary, so a few words may be allowed in one and not the other. Check the official word list of the game you are playing when it matters.

How do blank tiles work?

Type a ? (or a space, * or _) for each blank, up to three. A blank can stand for any letter but scores no points, so the points shown leave out the letters a blank fills in.

How do I solve a 5-letter word puzzle with it?

Put the letters you know in the right place in the pattern, using ? for the rest (for example ?r??e). Put letters that are in the word but in the wrong place in Must include, and letters that are not in the word in Leave out.
