How the crossword solver works
This is a positional pattern finder. Type the letters you already have in the spots you know them, and a ? for every empty square. The solver matches your pattern against a dictionary of more than 170,000 words and returns every word of exactly that length whose known letters line up — perfect for crossword clues, Wordle guesses, and any fill-in-the-blank word puzzle. Like the rest of Word Scramble Help, it runs entirely in your browser, so answers are instant and private.
Crossword vs. word scramble
Use this pattern solver when you know where some letters go (crossword grids, Wordle). Use the word scramble solver when you have a jumble of loose tiles and want every word you can build from them, with Scrabble and Words With Friends scores.
