How to use
- Enter 2–15 English letters. Include repeated letters exactly as they appear in the puzzle.
- Press Find words. Every result uses all your letters with no additions or leftovers.
- Read up to ten alphabetically ordered candidates and use Copy words if you want the visible list.
Type or paste your input, check the conditions, then press Find words or Enter. Editing a field clears the previous result; it does not run a new search. A faint example is ready to try at first. Focusing it makes room for your own text; an empty field shows the example again after you leave it. Clear removes your input and confirmed result.
How the matches are chosen
An exact anagram has the same number of each letter as the input. The tool groups dictionary words by their letter inventory, so it can look up an existing group without generating all possible permutations.
Use this page for a jumble where every letter must be used. It finds one word at a time, not multiword phrases or sentences. The original spelling is excluded, even when you change its capitalization. If no different word matches, the result explains that no alternative was found.
Only the first ten matches are displayed. When more words match, a message says that the list is limited. Copy words copies only the displayed words, one per line, without hidden extra results. The selection is deterministic, not a ranking by frequency, meaning or likelihood of answering a clue. There is no next page. Refine your input or conditions if the displayed candidates are not useful.
Examples to try
Enter TEA: ate and eat are matches because each uses A, E and T once. tea itself is excluded.
Enter LISTEN: silent is a match. It contains the same six letters; shorter words are excluded even if they could be made from part of the input.
Scope and troubleshooting
Searches use a fixed US English list of 78,812 entries derived from ESDB, release 2026.02.25. Only lowercase A–Z entries between 2 and 15 letters are included. Capitalized entries, punctuation, accents and longer words are excluded rather than changed into other spellings. Plurals and other inflected forms can be present. This is a spelling list, not a list of definitions or a guarantee that a particular puzzle accepts a word.
Uppercase and lowercase input are equivalent. Spaces at either end are ignored, but spaces inside the input, numbers and unsupported symbols produce an explanation beside the field. Input longer than 15 characters is preserved so you can edit it; the tool never silently cuts letters off. If the list cannot load, try again. A loading error is different from a successful search with no matches.
Frequently asked questions
Does changing the interface language change the dictionary?
No. The controls and explanation are translated, but the searched words remain English. This tool does not translate your input.
Does no match mean the word does not exist?
No. It means this version of the list has no match under your conditions. New words, specialized vocabulary and different spellings may be absent. Check the letters and any length restriction.
Are names and inappropriate words filtered perfectly?
No. Capitalized source entries are excluded, but spelling alone does not reliably identify every name, abbreviation or sensitive term. The list is not a certified children’s dictionary.
Is my input sent to a dictionary service?
No. The browser downloads the shared word list and searches it locally. There is no word-search API, account or AI request. Reloading or changing pages does not save your entered puzzle.
