About the crossword solver
A crossword solver finds words that match a fixed length with some letters known. Enter what you have and put a ? (or _) in each empty square: a pattern like c?a??e finds "chance", "charge", "cradle" and every other six-letter word that fits.
You can also add a "contains" filter to require a specific letter or string. It matches against a 200,000-word dictionary right in your browser, so answers appear the instant you type.
Frequently asked questions
How do I enter a crossword pattern?
Type the letters you know and use ? (or _) for each unknown square. For a six-letter answer starting with C and ending in E, enter c????e. The length of the pattern sets the word length.
Can I narrow the results further?
Yes. Use the contains field to require a particular letter or sequence somewhere in the word.
Does it solve crossword clues by meaning?
No. It matches by letter pattern and length, not by clue meaning. It's ideal when you already have a few crossing letters filled in.
