Find clues or match patterns

See all the clues for any answer word, or all words that match a specified pattern

Enter a word to see all the clues used for it, or enter a pattern to see all answer words that match that pattern. Patterns use ? for unknown characters. For example, P??CH will find both POOCH and PEACH. Use * to mean any number of characters. A*Z finds both ADZ and ALCATRAZ, *CRY gets words that end with CRY, etc. Up to 1000 results are shown.

This page finds words from Daily, Sunday and Variety puzzles, and also from a dictionary search. See FAQs for dictionary info.

You can use $v to mean a single vowel or $c to mean a consonant. The v and c must be lower case. Note that Y counts as both a consonant and a vowel here. Try these sample links:

$c??$c displays 4-letter answers that start and end with a consonant.

$v$v*$v$v returns words of any length that start and end with two vowels.

Advanced: Some simple "regular expression" matching is available. For example, [QJXZ]???[^A-M] finds 5-letter words starting with Q, J, X, or Z and ending with a letter not in the first half of the alphabet.
