Free Word Finder: Find Words by Their Letters or Length
Search this free tool by the letters you hold, by an exact length, or by how a word starts and ends. Every match comes with a tile score. It is a word finder by letters, by length and by pattern, all in one place.
How the word finder works
This tool matches the filters you set against a full English word list and hands back everything that fits. You can stack several filters or lean on just one: give it some letters to include, a size to match, or the way a word should begin and end. Every result carries a tile score, so the most valuable option stands out at a glance rather than getting lost in a long alphabetical wall.
Reach for it when you have a slot on the board to fill rather than a loose rack to rearrange. Everything runs in your browser, so each search is instant and private and nothing you type is ever sent anywhere. When you instead hold a fixed set of tiles, the anagram solver is the better companion — between the two, almost any situation a word game throws at you is covered.
Find words by letters
The most common search is the word finder by letters: type the tiles you have and the tool lists the words that can use them. Add a starting or ending fragment when a slot is already part-filled and the results shrink to the few that genuinely fit. Working from the tiles in front of you is usually the fastest route to a strong, high-scoring play, which is why most players try it first.
The same view doubles as a study aid if you are trying to improve. Scan the longer results, make a mental note of the unfamiliar ones, and you will start recognising them on the board next time. A quick word finder by letters check before a tough turn often surfaces something you would never have spotted unaided.
Filter by length
Set an exact size and the tool returns only entries with that many tiles, which is how you fill a fixed slot cleanly. Sorting words by length also keeps the list easy to scan: the long, valuable options sit at the top and the short connectors follow underneath. Searching words by length is the move when the board dictates the shape of your answer rather than the tiles in your hand, and it pairs neatly with a start or end fragment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the word finder do?
The word finder searches a full English dictionary for words that match the filters you set: letters you must include, a length, or a start and end. It returns every match with a tile score, so you can pick the best word for whatever game you are playing.
How do I find words by the letters I have?
Type your available letters into the “contains” box and the word finder shows words that can use them. Add a starting or ending letter to narrow it down, or set a length to match a specific slot on the board.
Can I search by word length?
Yes. Set an exact length and the finder returns only words with that many letters. Filtering words by length is handy for fixed slots — a five-letter opener, a three-letter fit between two tiles, and so on.
Is the word finder free to use?
Yes, it is a free browser tool with no account and no limit. It works on phones and desktops and searches entirely on your device.
How is this different from the anagram solver?
The anagram solver unscrambles a fixed set of tiles into words that use only those letters. The word finder is broader: it matches by patterns like start, end, contains and length, even when you do not have an exact rack. Use the solver for a tile rack and the finder for a board slot.
