You're looking for a five-letter word - maybe for a puzzle, a game, or a writing project. You have some letters pinned down, others you're unsure about, and a few you know are wrong. This tool gives you a straightforward list of every five-letter word that fits your pattern. No frills, no scoring, just a filterable word bank you can search through or export.
Lock letters into specific positions
If you know the second letter is "A" and the fourth is "R," put them in the corresponding position boxes. The tool will only return words with those letters in those exact spots. You can fill in as many or as few positions as you like. Leave a box blank if you're not sure about that position.
Use starts-with and ends-with for quick narrowing
Don't want to click through five boxes? Use the "starts with" and "ends with" fields instead. Type a letter or two into "starts with" to see only words beginning with that sequence. Same for "ends with." These fields work alongside the position boxes, so you can combine them for extra precision.
Filter by letters that must (or must not) appear
The "contains" field is for letters you know are in the word somewhere. The "excludes" field is for letters you've ruled out. You can enter multiple letters in each field - the tool will include all of the contains letters and exclude any word that has an excludes letter. This is the fastest way to narrow down when you have a mix of known and dead letters.
Export your list for offline use
Once your results are ready, click the copy button to copy the visible list. Paste it into a document, a note app, or directly into your game. The list is plain text, one word per line, no extra formatting. You can also scan grouped results if you prefer.
Dealing with large result sets
If your filters are too loose, you might get hundreds of matches. Add more constraints: include a rare letter like "Z" or "Q," or exclude common letters like "E" or "S." You can also use the starts-with and ends-with fields to cut the list down to a manageable size.
Wordle-style example
After a guess like CRANE, enter confirmed green letters in the pattern, put yellow letters in contains, and put gray letters in exclude. Do not judge the list until all three signals are entered.
Before your next guess
Before you use a candidate as your next guess, compare it against every clue from previous guesses. A word that fits the length can still be wrong if it reuses a gray letter or puts a yellow letter back in the same position.
