Tips
If you know some letters of a word and their positions, a pattern search finds it faster than scanning a list. Open the word finder, type the word with question marks for the unknown letters, and every match appears immediately. You can combine a pattern with the starts-with and ends-with filters to narrow the set further. This works for crosswords, for daily five-letter puzzles and for any tile game where a board word gives you two or three fixed letters.
