Word Finder by Length Questions & Tips
How do I find words with an exact number of letters?
Select the exact length from 2 to 11, or use More for 12 to 20. Leave the optional letters box empty to search the dictionary by word length and find all words of the selected length.
Can I narrow exact-length results using letters?
Yes. Enter optional letters after selecting the length. This works as a word finder by length and letters, a word pattern finder by length, and a way to find words containing letters while keeping an exact letter count.

Select 2 and click Find Words. A 2 letter word finder is useful when a puzzle, board game or short word slot requires exactly two letters.
How can I find 3 letter words?
Select 3 to use the tool as a 3 letter word finder. Add optional letters when you need three-letter words containing a particular letter or sequence.

Select 4 to find 4 letter words from the chosen dictionary. This is useful for short crossword answers, word games and four-letter word puzzles.

Select 6 for a 6 letter word finder. You can search all six-letter words or add optional letters to find a 6 letter word matching part of a puzzle.

Select 7 to find 7 letter words. This can also be used as a Scrabble word finder by length when you want to examine seven-letter possibilities.

How do I search for 9, 10 or 11 letter words?
Use the 9, 10 or 11 buttons to search those exact lengths. This is useful for longer crossword answers, vocabulary searches and word puzzles with a fixed number of spaces.
How do I find 12 to 20 letter words?
Open More and choose a length from 12 through 20. The same exact-length search works for long words, with optional letters available to reduce the result set.
Can I find words containing a letter sequence at an exact length?
Yes. Choose the length first and enter the sequence in Letters to match. For example, select 7 and enter ING to search for seven-letter words containing ING.
Can I find words from letters by length?
Yes. When you know the required letter count and part of the word, combine the length selector with Letters to match. For unrestricted starting, ending or containing searches, use Word Finder.
Is this an exact length word finder?
Yes. Every result must have exactly the number of letters selected. That makes the tool useful when a puzzle gives you a fixed word length.
Can I search the dictionary by word length?
Yes. Leave Letters to match empty and select a length. The tool then searches the chosen Common, Extended or Full Scale dictionary for words of that exact length.
Can this be used as a crossword solver by word length?
It can help when a crossword clue gives you the answer length. Select the number of spaces in the answer and use any known letter sequence to narrow possible words.

Can this help with Scrabble?
Yes. Select the required letter count to browse words of that length. For rack-specific searches and game-focused features, use the dedicated Scrabble Word Finder.
Can this help with Words With Friends?
The exact-length search can help explore words of a required size for Words With Friends and similar word games. Game-specific scoring can differ from Scrabble.
Can I use it as a word puzzle solver by letter count?
Yes. When a jumble, crossword or other word puzzle tells you how many letters the answer contains, select that letter count and search the corresponding word list.
Can I sort scrambled letters by length?
This page searches by a length you choose rather than sorting one scramble into many lengths. If you need to rearrange all supplied letters, use Anagram Solver.
What is the difference between Word Finder by Length and Word Finder?
Word Finder by Length begins with an exact letter count. Word Finder is better for searches such as words starting with letters, words ending with letters, or words containing a sequence without making length the primary condition.
When should I use Anagram Solver instead?
Use Anagram Solver when every entered letter must be rearranged to form an exact anagram. Use this page when the required number of letters is the main search condition.
Why does the dictionary choice change my results?
Common, Extended and Full Scale contain different numbers of words. A larger dictionary can return uncommon words that are absent from the smaller lists.
What does Common English mean here?
Common English uses the smaller word list and is useful when you want more familiar results rather than a very large set of uncommon dictionary entries.
When should I choose Extended English?
Extended English provides a broader word list and is the default option on this page. It balances familiar vocabulary with a larger range of possible matches.
When should I use Full Scale?
Full Scale searches the largest available word list. It is useful when a difficult puzzle may contain an uncommon word and the smaller dictionaries return too few possibilities.
Do I have to enter letters?
No. Letters to match is optional. Selecting only a length lets you find words by letter count without supplying any letters.
What happens if I know only the word length?
Simply select the required number and click Find Words. This is the main difference from tools that require a set of letters before they can search.

Use Word Finder by Length to find words by length and browse words by length from 2 through 20 letters.
