5 Letter Words finds every five-letter word that fits the letters you know, by spot, by letters to include or exclude, or from your coloured Wordle guesses.
| Feature | What you get | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Letters by spot | Five boxes for known letters: starting with, ending in or in the middle | Words starting with ST, ending in ER |
| Include and exclude | Letters the word must contain and letters it must not have | Words with A and R but no E |
| Everyday words first | Common words starred and listed before rare dictionary words | Picking a likely puzzle answer |
| Wordle helper | Colour your guesses green, yellow and grey; repeated letters handled correctly | Getting unstuck on Wordle |
| Best next guess | Words ranked by how far they shrink the list of words left | Finishing in fewer guesses |
| Letter charts | Keyboard of letter status and which letters fit each spot | Seeing what to try next |
| Copy the list | All matching words copied in one click | Sharing or keeping a word list |
How to Find 5 Letter Words
- Type the letters you know into their boxes. S and T in the first two boxes finds words starting with ST; E and R in the last two finds words ending in ER. Leave unknown spots empty.
- Add letters to include or exclude. Must include takes letters that are somewhere in the word; Exclude takes letters it must not have.
- Press Show 5 letter words. Every matching word appears, with everyday words starred and listed first. Copy the list with one click.
- Solving Wordle? Switch to Wordle helper, type each guess you played and tap under each tile until its colour matches the game. The list then shows only the words that are still possible, and the best next guess.
Common Searches and What to Type
| You are looking for | Letter boxes | Must include | Exclude |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 letter words starting with ST | S T _ _ _ | ||
| 5 letter words ending in ER | _ _ _ E R | ||
| 5 letter words with O in the middle | _ _ O _ _ | ||
| 5 letter words with A, I and R | air | ||
| 5 letter words without E | e | ||
| Starting with C, containing A, no S or T | C _ _ _ _ | a | st |
How the Wordle Colours Work
| Colour | What it means | What the list does |
|---|---|---|
| Green | Right letter, right spot | Keeps only words with that letter in that spot |
| Yellow | In the word, wrong spot | Keeps words that have the letter, but not in that spot |
| Grey | No more copies of that letter | Removes words with extra copies, usually any copy at all |
In the example, N and E are fixed in spots 4 and 5, R is in the word but not in spot 2, and C and A are out. That one guess already cuts 15,921 words to a few dozen.
Best 5 Letter Words to Start Wordle
| Starting word | Why it works |
|---|---|
| CRANE | Three very common consonants and two common vowels, each in a usual spot |
| SLATE | Starts with S and ends in E, the two most common first and last letters |
| TRACE | Same letters as CRATE and CATER, in their most likely spots |
| ADIEU | Four vowels at once: finds the vowels fast but tests few consonants |
| SLANT | Consonant-heavy; a good second word after a vowel-first start |
Follow your first word with one that shares none of its letters, such as CRANE then MOIST, and you have tested ten letters in two guesses. Enter both in the Wordle helper and the list is usually short enough to finish on the third guess.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find 5 letter words that start with certain letters?
Type the letters into the first boxes under Letters in the right spot, for example S and T, leave the other boxes empty and press Show 5 letter words. For words ending in certain letters, fill the last boxes instead.
How do I find 5 letter words with certain letters in any position?
Type them into Must include, for example air. Every word in the list contains all of those letters somewhere. Put letters the word must not have into Exclude.
How do I use it to solve Wordle?
Open the Wordle helper tab, type each guess you already played and tap the strip under each tile until it matches the colours the game showed: grey, yellow or green. Press Show 5 letter words to see every word that is still possible and the best next guess.
What do the green, yellow and grey colours mean?
Green means the letter is in the word and in that spot. Yellow means the letter is in the word but in a different spot. Grey means the word has no more copies of that letter than the green and yellow tiles already show, which usually means none.
What is the best 5 letter word to start Wordle with?
Words with five different common letters work best, such as CRANE, SLATE, TRACE or CRATE. ADIEU finds the vowels quickly. A strong habit is to follow your first word with one that shares none of its letters, for example CRANE then MOIST, which tests ten letters in two guesses.
Why are some words marked with a star?
The star marks everyday words. Word puzzle answers are almost always everyday words, so they are listed first. Choose Common words only under Word list to hide rare dictionary words completely.
How many 5 letter words are there?
This tool searches 15,921 five-letter English words, including rare ones that word games accept. About 1,300 of them are everyday words.
Is this 5 letter word finder free?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up and no limit on searches, on phones and computers.
