6 Letter Word Finder

What this 6 letter word finder does

This 6 letter word finder helps you solve Wordle-style puzzles by filtering a list of about 3,500 common six-letter English words. Enter the letters you know from the green, yellow and gray squares in your game, and the list shrinks to the words that still fit. It also suggests the best next guess, the word that tells you the most about the remaining candidates. This tool is not connected to any game.

How to use it

1. Type each green letter into the box for its position and leave the other boxes empty.
2. Type yellow letters in the box of the column where they turned yellow. Several letters can share one box. The tool then knows the letter is in the word, but not there.
3. Type the gray letters in the last field. These are ruled out.
4. Read the matching words. The list updates as you type and Best next guess shows three strong options.
5. Press Reset to start a new puzzle.

How the filtering works

A word stays in the list only if it passes every rule. Green letters must sit in their exact place. Yellow letters must appear somewhere else in the word, never in the column where they were yellow. Gray letters must be absent, with one exception: if a letter is gray but also green or yellow elsewhere, the word has to contain it exactly as many times as you have found it, so double letters are handled correctly. Capital letters and accents are ignored when matching.

About the word list

The list is built from public word-frequency data and a spell-check dictionary, so it favours common words. It can include a few names and borrowed words, and it may miss rare words that a particular game accepts. If nothing matches, double-check your yellow and gray letters first.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to fill every box?

No. Enter only what you know. Even a single green letter or a handful of gray letters narrows the list.

Why is a valid word from my game missing?

Games often accept thousands of unusual words that are not in a list of common ones. The finder focuses on words people actually use.

Is this cheating?

That is up to you. Many people use a finder to check a stuck puzzle or to learn strategy. Our guide to six-letter words shows which letters matter most, so you can play well without help.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The boxes are large and the list scrolls.
