About
One dictionary, five solvers. This page states exactly what is in the word list so you can judge whether a missing word is a bug or a rule.
One dictionary, five tools
Every solver on this site reads the same word list. That is a deliberate choice: a word that the unscrambler finds is also available to the Wordle and crossword pages, so the tools cannot disagree with each other.
The list holds 152,405 entries, each a single lowercase English word of 2 to 12 letters. It is the ENABLE word list, a public-domain compilation used by word games for years. It is a dictionary of words, not a ranking of how common they are — which is why an obscure entry can sit next to a familiar one.
What is in it, by length
| Letters | Words | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 96 | Mostly the standard two-letter word-game entries |
| 3 | 972 | |
| 4 | 3,903 | |
| 5 | 8,636 | The Wordle solver works from this set |
| 6 | 15,232 | |
| 7 | 23,109 | A full Scrabble rack |
| 8 | 28,420 | |
| 9 | 24,873 | |
| 10 | 20,302 | |
| 11 | 15,504 | |
| 12 | 11,358 | Upper limit; longer entries are dropped |
Everything above 12 letters is excluded at build time. It adds tens of thousands of compounds and technical terms that no rack or five-letter puzzle can use, and it would nearly double the download.
What it deliberately leaves out
- Proper nouns. No names of people, places, products or organisations. This is why anagram tools cannot rearrange a name.
- Phrases and hyphenated words. "Ice cream" and "well-being" are not entries; each part would be searched separately.
- Numbers and symbols. Only A–Z.
- Game-specific lists. The official Wordle answer list, the Scrabble tournament list and the Words With Friends list are different datasets with their own licensing. This site does not bundle any of them, so a word here is a real English word — not a promise that a particular game accepts it.
How the tools use it
Each solver is a filter over the same array, not a separate index:
| Tool | Operation |
|---|---|
| Unscrambler | Letter-count subset test, optional prefix/suffix/must-contain filters |
| Anagram solver | Exact multiset equality on the entered letters |
| Wordle solver | Position, exclusion and copy-count constraints from each coloured row |
| Crossword solver | Position match against a pattern with wildcards |
| Word finder | Contains-letters, prefix, suffix and length filters combined |
The list downloads once per visit (about 1.4 MB, 391 KB compressed) the first time you search, then stays in memory. No query is sent to the server — the filters run in your browser, which is also why results appear as you type.
If a word is wrong
The list is a fixed data file. A word that is missing, or one that looks like a typo, comes from that file rather than from a runtime lookup, so fixing it means rebuilding the site. The counts above are printed from the same build, so they are a check on what the tools actually loaded.
