5 letter words with these letters?

Yes—this is exactly what the tool excels at. Enter letters you know belong in the answer (from yellow tiles or prior knowledge) and the finder will return only valid five-letter words that contain them. You can also specify letters that must not appear. Add optional position rules (for example, “A in slot 3”) to narrow results dramatically.

1. Include letters: Add any letters the puzzle confirmed are present. The finder enforces at least one occurrence for each letter you list.
2. Exclude letters: Add letters the puzzle marked gray. The engine removes words containing any of them.
3. Known positions: Put correct letters into exact slots (like _ A _ E _). Leave blanks empty.
4. Find words: Press the button to instantly see valid results from a curated five-letter dictionary.

As you learn more, update your clues and run another search. The list updates immediately so you can iterate toward the answer with confidence.

5 Letter Word Finders, Solvers & Unscramblers

There are many tools in this space—finders that filter words by rules, solvers that recommend the “best next guess,” and unscramblers that rearrange letter sets. This site focuses on a balanced, human-first approach:

• Finder: Filter the word list by exact positions, included letters, and excluded letters. Minimal clicks, maximal clarity.
• Solver-friendly options: Optional scoring can nudge common words upward so your next guess covers high-value letters.
• Unscrambler mode: If you have a jumble of five letters, plug them in and use “Unknown positions” to reveal all valid permutations that match your bans.

We intentionally avoid over-automation. The goal is to assist your reasoning, not replace the fun of the puzzle. You remain in control of each guess.

How the 5 Letter Word Finder works

The interface mirrors the mental model of modern word puzzles:

• Known positions (greens): Exact letters in exact slots.
• Include letters (yellows): Letters that must appear somewhere, position not yet fixed.
• Not included (grays): Letters that cannot appear at all.

Behind the scenes, your pattern is matched against a vetted dictionary of five-letter candidates. Filters are applied in this order: exclude rules, position constraints, include letters, and optional duplicate handling. Because the engine prunes aggressively, you’ll rarely scroll long lists—most searches end with a tidy set of viable choices.

What is 5 Letter Words?

In the context of this site, “5 letter words” simply refers to vocabulary entries that contain exactly five alphabetic characters (A–Z). These are the canonical length used by Wordle-style games and many daily brain teasers. While the English language is vast, the practical, puzzle-ready subset tends to exclude hyper-obscure spellings, proper nouns, hyphenations, and archaic terms. Our list aims to represent the common answer space you’ll encounter in popular games, while still allowing fair breadth for edge cases (like repeated letters or less frequent consonants).

If you’re new to this puzzle length, a few quick notes help:

• Duplicates happen. Words like “LEVEL” or “RADAR” are valid. Watch your clues carefully—repeats are easy to overlook.
• Position matters. A letter confirmed in the word but at the wrong spot rules out that slot. Encoding this quickly narrows choices.
• Frequency helps. Favor common letters early (E, A, R, O, I, N, S, T, L) to maximize information gain from each guess.

Example: from first clues to a confident guess

Say your opening guess is SLATE. The board returns: S (gray), L (yellow), A (green in slot 3), T (gray), E (yellow). Enter it like this:

• Known positions: _ _ A _ _ (A in position 3)
• Include letters: L, E
• Not included: S, T

Tap Find words. You’ll see a concise list that respects all three constraints. Choose a candidate that introduces new high-value letters while placing L and E in fresh positions. After each new board, update your clues and run the finder again. Most puzzles resolve in four guesses or fewer with this rhythm.

Advanced options for power users

If a puzzle gets stubborn, open the Advanced panel. You can:

• Ban positions for a letter: Keep “E” out of slots 1 and 5, for example.
• Control duplicates: Require one duplication or set an exact count for a letter you suspect repeats.
• Bias by commonness: Prefer everyday vocabulary over rare words when choosing your next attempt.
• Hard mode: Enforce that every new guess must respect all discovered information.

These controls keep the main interface lightweight while giving you precision when it matters.

5 Letter Word Finders, Solvers & Unscramblers

Use the finder to filter candidates by rules you know. If you prefer solver-style guidance, turn on optional scoring to surface strong “coverage” guesses. And if you only have a bag of letters, treat the tool like an unscrambler: plug them into the Include letters area, add any bans, and explore the valid five-letter permutations the engine returns.

Strategy tips for five-letter puzzles

• Open strong: Start with a word that covers three vowels and two common consonants, or vice versa.
• Exploit yellow info: When a letter is confirmed but misplaced, encode the position ban immediately—it prunes huge branches instantly.
• Suspect repeats: If options thin out, test a double letter. The Advanced panel can require duplicates to confirm or deny the hypothesis.
• Don’t tunnel: If two candidates remain, prefer the one that reveals more about the remaining uncertain slots.

Accessibility and privacy

The finder supports keyboard navigation and screen readers. Inputs have clear labels, and we avoid color-only communication by pairing visuals with text. Your clues are processed locally in your browser; nothing is stored or sent unless you opt in to saving state for convenience.
