Word Finder
Find words by starting letter, ending letter, word length, or a first-and-last-letter pattern — all drawn from a 78,577-word dictionary. Wordsy’s Word Finder is useful for crosswords, vocabulary work, writing, and players of games like Scrabble, Wordle, or Words With Friends.
Words Starting With…
Pick any letter A–Z to see every word that begins with it, grouped by length and sorted by how common each word is.
Words Ending With…
Browse words by their final letter — useful for rhymes, suffixes, and crossword clues where you know how a word ends.
Words by Length
Jump to a word-length list, from short 2-letter words to long 15-letter words — handy for fixed-length puzzle slots and games with a set number of tiles.
By Starting & Ending Letter
Find words that start and end with specific letters — helpful for crosswords, word puzzles, and games.
These lists match words by their first and last letter — for example, words starting with J and ending with R or words starting with E and ending with L. They are especially useful for crosswords, word games, vocabulary work, and writing — any time you know how a word begins and ends but need help filling in the middle.

Word Finder FAQ
How do I find words with specific letters?
Use the starting-letter and ending-letter lists. Pick the letter a word begins or ends with, then scan the results grouped by length. To match both ends at once, use the first-and-last-letter pattern lists.
How do I find words of a certain length?
Open the “Find words by length” section and choose a length from 2 to 15 letters. This is handy for Wordle (5-letter words) and for crossword or puzzle slots with a fixed number of squares.
How do I find words that start and end with specific letters?
Use the first-and-last-letter pattern lists, such as words starting with S and ending with R. They are ideal when a crossword or puzzle gives you the first and last letter but nothing in between.
Is the Word Finder good for crosswords and Scrabble?
Yes. The letter, length, and pattern lists are built for crosswords, Scrabble, Words With Friends, and similar games. If your letters are jumbled rather than positioned, the Unscramble tool finds every word you can make from them.
How big is the dictionary and where does it come from?
The Word Finder draws on a curated dictionary of more than 78,000 English words built from the open-source SCOWL word list, filtered for quality so the lists stay clean and useful.
