Turn a jumble of letters into real words — unscramble letters and find words that start with, end with or contain the letters you have. Free, for games and writing alike.
The FreeDict word finder turns a set of letters into real words: enter the letters you have and it lists dictionary words you can make, with options to find words that start with, end with or contain specific letters, or match an exact length. It’s built for word games like Scrabble, Words With Friends and Wordle, and it’s just as handy when you’re writing and a word is on the tip of your tongue. Open the Word Finder to try it.
What you can search for
The finder handles the questions word-game players and writers actually ask:
Enter the letters you have — your rack of tiles, or the jumble you’re trying to solve.
Choose whether the letters should appear at the start, the end, or anywhere in the word.
Optionally set a length to match a board space or a puzzle slot.
Scan the results, longest or highest-value first, and click any word to check what it means.
Tips for word games
Scrabble & Words With Friends: search by the letters on your rack, then sort by length to spot the highest-scoring plays. Short words with awkward letters (j, q, x, z) are often the ones that save a turn.
Wordle and 5-letter puzzles: start from the five-letter word list, then use “contains” to keep letters you’ve confirmed and length filters to stay exact.
Crosswords: when you know a couple of positions, “starting with” and “ending with” quickly surface candidates that fit the pattern.
Anagrams: enter all your letters and let the finder rebuild every real word hiding inside them.
It’s not just for games
Writers use the word finder too. If you can remember how a word begins or ends but not the word itself, a “starts with” or “ends with” search often jogs it loose. It’s also a fast way to find a word of a particular length or shape when you’re fitting a headline, a poem or a crossword clue. Because each result is a real, defined word, you’re never left guessing whether it’s legitimate.
From letters to the right word
Once the finder gives you options, the rest of FreeDict helps you choose well. Click through to a word’s entry to hear it and practise saying it, open the thesaurus to find a stronger synonym, or check the origin if you’re curious where it came from. If you’re building your vocabulary through games, save the best finds to flashcards so the new words stay with you.

Frequently asked questions
How does the FreeDict word finder work?
Enter the letters you have and the word finder returns real dictionary words you can make from them. You can search for words that start with, end with or contain specific letters, or filter by exact length — useful for word games and for finding the right word when writing.
Is the word finder good for Scrabble and Wordle?
Yes. Use “contains” or the letter filters for Scrabble and Words With Friends tiles, and the length filters (for example five-letter words) to narrow down Wordle-style guesses. Every result is a real word from the FreeDict dictionary.
Can I find words of an exact length?
Yes. You can list words of a specific length — for example five-letter words — and combine length with a required letter, such as five-letter words containing a particular letter.
Does every result link to a definition?
Yes. Every word the finder returns links straight to its FreeDict entry, so you can check the meaning, pronunciation and part of speech before you use it.
