What is Words With The Letters?
Words With The Letters is a word finder tool designed for word game enthusiasts. Whether you're stuck on a Wordle puzzle, looking to maximize your Scrabble score, or simply want to unscramble a jumbled set of letters, this tool searches through nearly 200,000 words to find every possible match.
Unlike basic anagram solvers, this tool offers precise filtering options that mirror how word games actually work. You can specify exact letter positions, exclude letters you've already ruled out, and use wildcards for blank tiles. Here's how each feature works.
Finding words from your letters
The simplest use case: enter the letters you have, and the tool returns every valid word that can be formed using only those letters. Each letter can only be used once, just like drawing tiles from a bag.
Using wildcards for blank tiles
In Scrabble and similar games, blank tiles can represent any letter. Enter a question mark (?) to indicate a wildcard. The tool will substitute every letter of the alphabet and return all valid combinations.
Specifying known letter positions
This feature is particularly useful for Wordle players. When you know certain letters are in specific positions (shown in green in Wordle), enter them in the position boxes. The tool will only return words that match those exact positions.
Excluding ruled-out letters
Another Wordle-friendly feature. When you've tried letters that aren't in the answer (shown in gray), add them to the exclusion field. The tool filters out any word containing those letters, narrowing down possibilities quickly.
About the dictionary
The tool uses the NWL (NASPA Word List), the official dictionary for tournament Scrabble in North America. It contains approximately 192,000 words, from common vocabulary to obscure two-letter combinations that seasoned players memorize. All results are valid for competitive play.
Compatible games
While built with Scrabble and Wordle in mind, the tool works for virtually any word game that involves forming words from a set of letters:
Tips for better results
For the fastest results, use the length-specific pages (accessible from the navigation) rather than searching all lengths at once. If you're solving a Wordle, the 5-letter page with position boxes will give you exactly what you need. For Scrabble, try different combinations of your rack letters with one or two wildcards to find high-scoring possibilities you might have missed.
