XWord Info is free to use, but it is only possible when people like you choose to support it through donations.
Consider giving $10, $20, or more so this site can continue to provide in-depth analysis of NYT puzzles. Thank you!
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.
