How to use the Wordle Solver & 5-Letter Word Finder
Stuck on a five-letter word puzzle? Use this as a Wordle solver: fill in what you already know — green letters in their slots, yellow letters that are in the word but not in that spot, and gray letters to rule out — and the finder lists every matching word from a 40,000-word dictionary, with common words first.
- Type known letters into the five boxes (leave unknown positions blank).
- Add yellow letters under the position where they did NOT fit, or type them into “Must include”.
- Type every gray letter into “Exclude”.
- Read the list: bold green chips are common words, which are the likeliest answers. Tick “Common words only” to shorten it.
FAQ
Can I use this for Wordle?
Yes. It is designed around green, yellow, and gray clues, so it works for Wordle-style games — though solving on your own is more fun!
What does “in the word but NOT here” do?
It removes words that have that letter in that position, while still requiring the letter somewhere in the word — exactly what a yellow tile tells you.
What if a letter appears twice?
Type it twice in “Must include” (for example EE) to require two copies.
Where do the words come from?
From the SCOWL and ENABLE word lists (both permissively licensed), with offensive words removed.
How is this different from the word unscrambler?
The unscrambler finds words from a set of letter tiles. This finder searches five-letter words by letter position — the way clue-based puzzles work.
