What is Word Finder
Word Finder is a simple online tool for turning a set of rules into every word that matches, making it easy to plan plays for Scrabble and similar word-tile games. Filter by word length, the letters a word starts or ends with, letters that must appear or must be avoided, and an exact pattern. Pair it with the Anagram Solver or Wordle Helper when you need a different angle, and switch word lists whenever the game calls for it.
- 2-letter words
- 3-letter words
- Use the starts-with and ends-with filters to plan hooks
- Master high-value tiles such as Q, Z, X and J
- Use patterns to clear your rack and plan for bingos
Set a length range
Choose a minimum and maximum word length so results stay within the tiles or spaces you have to work with.
Add letter rules
Tell the finder which letters a word must start with, end with, contain, or avoid to narrow the list fast.
Use a pattern
Enter a pattern with ? for any single letter and * for any run of letters to match an exact shape.
Get every match
See every valid word that fits your rules, then tap one to check its meaning before you play it.
