About Find Words Fast
Find Words Fast is built for the moments when a single word stands between you and the finish — a tricky crossword clue, a Scrabble rack that refuses to cooperate, a Wordle puzzle on its final guess. The tool searches a comprehensive English word database and returns every match in under a second.
Use it for Scrabble, Words With Friends, daily and cryptic crosswords, Wordle, anagram puzzles, word jumbles, and any game where you know some of the letters but not all of them. The wildcard system is straightforward: enter the letters you have, use ? for a single missing letter and * for an unknown stretch. Combine that with optional filters — starts with, ends with, must include, exclude letters — for tightly targeted results.
Every tool on the site is free, works on any phone, tablet, or desktop, and runs without a sign-up. The Anagram Solver finds valid words you can make from a set of letters, and the Wordle Solver narrows the answer using the same six-row, five-tile grid as the game itself. Built by a word puzzle player, for word puzzle players.

Which dictionary does the tool use?
The Word Finder and Anagram Solver query the Datamuse API, which searches a database of over 550,000 English words. That covers most Scrabble and Words With Friends tournament word lists as well as everyday English. The Wordle Solver uses the canonical NYT Wordle answer list (2,315 words) by default, with an extended 12,972-word option for harder puzzles or word study.
Is Find Words Fast really free?
Yes. The site is funded by Google AdSense advertising. There is no premium tier, no paywall, and no feature locked behind sign-up. Every tool works without an account.
Can I use this for Scrabble and Words With Friends?
Yes. Both games share most of their word list with each other and with standard English dictionaries. Use pattern matching to fit words to specific board positions (for example, ?V??? for a five-letter word with V in the second slot), or use the Anagram Solver to find valid words your rack can make. Filter results by length to match the squares available.
Does the tool store my searches?
No. Search queries are sent to the Datamuse API to retrieve results, then the results come back to your browser. We do not log, store, or analyse your queries on our end. The only data collected is anonymous traffic analytics and standard advertising data, both detailed in our Privacy Policy.
