When you are solving a five-letter puzzle, you usually know some letters are in the word, some are out, and a few sit in known spots.
This helper takes the letters you know are in the word, the letters that are not, and any known positions, then lists the five-letter words that fit.
How to use 5 Letter Words With These Letters
- Type the letters you know are in the word.
- Add letters that are not in the word and any known positions with ?.
- Click a matching five-letter word to copy it.
What you can do with it
- Narrow a daily five-letter puzzle.
- Use green letters as known positions.
- Rule out grey letters that are not in the word.
Good to know
Letters you enter must all appear in the word, excluded letters are removed unless they are also required, and the known-position pattern fixes letters at exact spots using ? for unknown squares. It uses an English word list, so accents, non-English letters and proper nouns may not appear; use ? for one unknown letter.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use green and yellow letters?
Put all known letters in the in-the-word box, and use the known-positions pattern with ? to fix any letters whose exact spot you know.
How do excluded letters work?
Letters in the not-in-word box are removed from results, unless the same letter is also required because of a duplicate.
Why only five-letter words?
This helper is fixed to five letters to match common five-letter puzzles, so every result has exactly five letters.
