Words by Letters

7 letter words from your letters

Type 2 to 15 letters. Use ? for a blank tile, up to two.

What this does

This page takes the letters you hold and lists the seven-letter words they can make. Those come first, in a green group at the top. Shorter words follow, grouped by length from six letters down to two.

How to use it

Type your letters in the box. You can type more than seven, up to fifteen, and the page looks for seven-letter words among them. Type a question mark for a blank tile, up to two. A letter that comes from a blank is shown on a black tile. With fewer than seven tiles there is no seven-letter word to show, so only the shorter words appear.

The words come from the ENABLE word list, a public-domain list that many word-game players use. The site keeps the words of 2 to 15 letters made of the letters a to z. A small number of offensive words are left out. That leaves 168,318 words. Another dictionary may differ, so a game can accept words that are missing here or refuse some that are shown. The matching runs in your browser, and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
