The Fastest Way to Find & Unscramble 5-Letter Words

Stuck on Wordle? Need to unscramble letters for Scrabble? This 5-letter word finder and unscrambler searches through 14,800+ words in milliseconds. Just enter what you know, and get every possible match instantly.

How Wordle Players Use This Finder

After your first guess in Wordle, you'll see green, yellow, and gray tiles. Each color tells you something different about the hidden word.

Green means you've nailed the position

When a letter lights up green, it's in exactly the right spot. Enter it in the green box at that position.

R
Shows all words with R as the second letter

Yellow means right letter, wrong spot

A yellow tile means the letter is in the word, just not where you placed it. Add it to the yellow section.

EA
Shows words containing both E and A

Gray letters are out of the game

Gray tiles won't appear in today's answer. Add them to the gray section to eliminate thousands of possibilities at once.

XZQ
Removes all words with these letters

A Real Wordle Example

Say you guessed CRANE and STUMP. The R turned green in position 2, A turned yellow, and the rest went gray. Here's what you'd enter:

Why Some Words Appear in Bold

Wordle uses about 2,300 common words as possible answers — words like APPLE, BRAIN, and CHAIR. The remaining 12,500+ words are valid guesses but will never be the answer.

Bold results are likely Wordle answers. If you're solving today's puzzle, prioritize these words.
