Why frequency order beats alphabetical
Most word lists are alphabetical, which hides the answer you actually need somewhere in the middle of the Cs. Every list on this site is ranked by how often each word appears in a trillion-word corpus of written English. Puzzle answers are almost always everyday words, so they surface in the first rows, not after three screens of obscure tournament plays.
Which dictionary should I use?
Playing Wordle? "Wordle answers" narrows the list to the curated answer pool. Scrabble players should match their rulebook: TWL in North America, CSW everywhere else. Words With Friends uses its own list, based on ENABLE. When in doubt, "All dictionaries" searches everything: 183,301 words.
Frequently asked questions
What dictionaries does Find Five Letter Words use?
Five: the combined tournament list (default), the curated Wordle answer list, Words With Friends (ENABLE), Scrabble US (TWL06), and Scrabble UK (SOWPODS): 183,301 words of 2 to 20 letters in total. Switch between them in the finder settings.
How do I use the finder for Wordle?
Type your green letters into the matching position boxes, put yellow letters in the "contains" field, and put gray letters in the "exclude" field. The list updates as you type, with the most likely answers at the top. For endgame precision, switch the dictionary to "Wordle answers".
Why are words sorted by frequency instead of alphabetically?
Puzzle answers are almost always everyday words. Ranking by real-world frequency puts likely answers in the first rows instead of hiding them mid-alphabet. You can switch to alphabetical or points order in settings.
Is the word finder free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no sign-up and no download. The site is supported by a small amount of advertising.
