Frequently asked questions
Are these word tools really free?
Yes. Every tool on this site is free, with no account, no sign-up and no search limits. Advertising keeps the site running so the tools can stay free.
How does the word finder work?
You tell it what you know: letters fixed in certain positions, letters the word must include, and letters it must not contain. It then filters a dictionary of over 125,000 English words and shows only the matches — all inside your browser.
Which word list do the tools use?
We build on SCOWL, an open spell-checker word list project (the English Speller Database) released under a permissive licence by Kevin Atkinson. It covers standard American English, including plenty of uncommon words for harder puzzles.
Is my data private?
Completely. Every search runs in your own browser using JavaScript. The letters you type are never uploaded, stored or tracked by us. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Can I use these tools on my phone?
Yes — the site is designed mobile-first and works on any phone, tablet or computer. There is nothing to install.
