Good to know

  • It can't read a clue and give the answer — it narrows down words that fit your pattern.
  • Words come from a bundled copy of SCOWL (about 61,600 common and mid-frequency English words); names, abbreviations, accents and hyphenated words are left out, and some rare or new words are missing.
