Crossword Solver — FAQ
How do I use the Crossword Solver?
Type the letters you know in their correct positions and use a dot (.) for each unknown letter. For example, enter W.RD to find WARD, WORD and WELD. Then press Search — you'll see every matching word ranked by length.
What does each dot mean in the pattern?
Each dot (.) stands for exactly one unknown letter. So C..T finds all 4-letter words starting with C and ending with T, like CART, CAST, COAT and CULT.
Which dictionaries does the Crossword Solver use?
The solver checks Scrabble US/CAN, Scrabble UK, Words With Friends and a large English word list. Switch between them using the dictionary selector below the search box.
