About Letter Tools

Letter tools are all about position and precision. Where the Word Solvers category cracks jumbles and puzzles, this category helps you search the dictionary by exactly where letters sit — the beginning, the end, the middle — or by an entire pattern you design yourself. Type what you know, and these tools reveal every word that fits, grouped by length and ranked so the most useful result is easy to find.

This category brings together five focused tools: Words Starting With, Words Ending With, Words Containing, the Letter Counter and the Letter Pattern Finder. Between them they cover prefix and suffix searches, mid-word sequences, full wildcard patterns, and a complete character-and-frequency breakdown of any text. Each one is fast, free and runs entirely in your browser.

What letter tools do

Each tool targets a specific kind of letter search. Words Starting With lists every word that begins with your prefix, while Words Ending With does the same for suffixes — perfect for rhymes and word families. Words Containing finds a sequence anywhere inside a word, ideal for playing through tiles already on the board. The Letter Pattern Finder is the most flexible of all, letting you mix fixed letters with ? and * wildcards to describe a word's entire shape.

The Letter Counter is the odd one out in the best way: instead of searching a dictionary, it analyses your own text, counting characters, letters, words, sentences and more, and charting how often each letter appears. Together, these tools cover both finding words by their letters and measuring the letters in words you already have.

When to use each tool

Reach for Words Starting With when you need a prefix match — a crossword opener or a Scrabble hook. Use Words Ending With for rhymes, suffixes and right-hand board plays. Words Containing is your tool for weaving through a middle letter or offloading a tricky Q, X or Z.

The Letter Pattern Finder handles anything with mixed known and unknown letters, especially crosswords and cryptic clues where positions matter. And whenever you need to measure rather than find — hitting a character limit, checking readability, or studying letter distribution — the Letter Counter gives you an instant, private breakdown.

Why players and writers trust our letter tools

Speed and accuracy come first. Every search runs against a large, regularly maintained English dictionary and returns results the instant you press the button, with no reloads. The Letter Counter updates live as you type. Everything is free, works on any device, and requires no sign-up.

Just as importantly, these tools respect your privacy — searches and text analysis run entirely in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded or stored. Whether you are chasing points, crafting a rhyme or trimming copy to length, there is a letter tool here built for exactly the job.

Pro tips

  • 1Start prefix and suffix searches broad, then add an exact length to narrow them.
  • 2Use Words Containing on pairs like QU, ZA and AX to place high-value tiles.
  • 3In the Pattern Finder, use ? when you know the length and * when you don't.
  • 4For crosswords, enter every letter you are sure of — even one or two speeds things up dramatically.
  • 5Watch the Letter Counter's 'No spaces' total for platforms that ignore whitespace in limits.
