Crossword Solver
Know some letters but not all? Enter a pattern using ? for each blank square — like c?a??e — and get every word that fits, instantly.
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.
