Search guide
How to search words that start with a letter
Choose the first letter when position one is known. The selected page keeps the word length fixed and preloads that opening letter in the Finder.
Add a second starting letter only when it is confirmed. Otherwise, an ending or exact-position clue usually narrows the list without assuming an unsupported sequence.
Totals and examples use the same verified US-English word data as the Finder. CORE and EXTENDED are coverage tiers, while displayed points are base tile scores without board multipliers.
