How Crossword Solver works
How does the crossword solver work?
You type a pattern using ? or _ for unknown letters, like c?t, and the tool checks it against the same roughly 200,000-word dictionary the Scrabble helper uses. A word only matches if it's exactly the same length as your pattern and every non-wildcard letter lines up in the same position.
When would I use this?
It's built for filling in a crossword answer when you know some of the letters from crossing words but not others â plug in what you've got as a pattern and see what fits.
Are there limits on pattern length or how many results show up?
The underlying dictionary tops out at nine-letter entries, so patterns longer than that won't find matches. Matching also requires an exact length match with no partial or substring matching, and only the first 300 results are shown even if a short, loosely-specified pattern matches more than that.
