Crossword

Crossword answers are a pattern-matching problem. Once you have a couple of crossing letters, the number of English words that fit a given shape collapses dramatically — often to a single candidate.

Enter one ? per empty square and your known letters in their exact positions. WordCue scans 350,000 words in milliseconds and lists every match, sorted alphabetically or by length.

Stuck on the whole entry? Use * as a wildcard for any number of letters to explore prefixes and suffixes such as *TION or UN*.
