Word Tools

Tools that search an English word list for you — unscramble a rack of letters, solve an anagram, match a pattern, filter by prefix, suffix or length, or look up rhymes for a line you are writing.

Start from the clue you actually have

These tools differ only in the kind of clue they accept, so the fastest route to an answer is to start with whatever you are most certain about. If you know the letters but not the order, unscramble. If you know positions, use a pattern. If you only know a length, filter by length and skim.

What these tools can and cannot tell you

Every result is drawn from this site's own list of about 16,750 words from common written English. A word missing from a result set is not proof it is not a word — it may simply be too rare, too technical or an inflected form the list does not carry. Equally, the list includes some names and abbreviations that word games would not accept.

The rhyme tool matches spelling, not pronunciation, so it groups words by their written ending. That works well for regular endings such as -ight or -ation and poorly for English's irregular spellings, where tough and though look alike but do not rhyme.
