Enter a word to see all the definitions used for that word, or enter a pattern to see all answer words that match that pattern. Paterns 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.
Note, this is not a full dictionary search. It only finds answer words already in the puzzle database so some real words that have never appeared in a puzzle won't show up, and some odd words specific to a puzzle theme will.
NEW: You can use $v to mean a single vowel or $c to mean a consonant. The v and c must be lower case. For example "$v??$c??$v" would display seven-letter answers that start and end with a vowel and have a consontant in the exact center. Note that Y counts as both a consonant and a vowel here.
