Word Lists

Every word list on this site, arranged by length. 315,007 words in total, across 14 lengths and 583 pages for words starting with, ending in, or containing a given letter.

By length

Start here if you know how long the word is—a crossword slot, a Wordle row, or the tiles in front of you. Each length page carries the most common words of that length and links on to every first letter, last letter and contained letter that has enough words to be worth a page.

Questions

How are these lists put together?
Four public word lists are merged—ENABLE, FreeBSD's web2 (Webster's 1913), a Wordle valid-guess list, and Google's frequency list for ranking—giving 315,007 words. Every word is tagged everyday, word-game or archaic, and the lists are ordered so the words you would recognise come first. The full method is on the about page.
Why does a list stop at 400 words?
Because past that nobody reads, they scroll. Each page states its true total and shows the most common 400; the word finder on every page reaches all of them, and filters down to what you actually want faster than scrolling would.
Are the archaic words real words?
They were in 1913. Webster's dictionary of that year is out of copyright, which is why it underpins most free word lists, and it carries thousands of entries no one has used in a century. They are kept because they are occasionally the answer, shown last and labelled because a word game will often reject them.

Or just search

If you know the letters, the finder is faster than browsing. Type a rack for every word you can spell from it, or a pattern like C?T for the positions you know.
