Crossword Puzzle Helper

Have you ever known some of the letters in a word but not the first few? A dictionary won't help you, but this app will. It's a crossword puzzle helper. When a crossword puzzle has me stumped I look here for help.

Enter the letters you know and either spaces, question marks, underscores, or periods for the letters you don't know. For example, if you're looking for a six-letter word and you only know that the last three letter are "est", enter either " est", or "...est" or "???est" or "___est". Click here for a demo

When you click the search button, this app counts the characters in the submitted text. If there are six characters, for example, it examines all six-letter words in its dictionary looking for words that match the text you entered.

A fun thing to do - if you want to see, for example, all 3-letter words, enter 3 spaces; to see all 4-letter words, enter 4 spaces; and so on.
All 3-letter words All 4-letter words
