Words from Letters FAQ
What Words Can I Make With These Letters?
That is the, «To be, or not to be,» question of all word games. There are usually many words you can make. Sometimes, there won’t be many at all. Just remember, sometimes it pays to make a word with fewer than the maximum number of points possible because it sets you up better for your next turn.
What Is the Longest English Word?
In the Oxford English Dictionary, the longest word is FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION, which means «the act of deeming or estimating something as worthless. Other dictionaries contain the word PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS, which is coal miners’ «black lung disease.»
If you think that’s bad, German is worse. The longest word in German is DONAUDAMPFSCHIFFFAHRTSELEKTRIZITÄTENHAUPTBETRIEBSWERKBAUUNTERBEAMTENGESELLSCHAFT. FLOCCI…, at 29 letters, and PNEUMONO …, at 45 letters, combined aren’t that long! None of these words will fit on a crossword game board. Scrabble boards are 15 letters across, so the longest word, which also doubles as the word worth the most points, possible is OXYBENPHUTAZONE. It requires eight letters already be placed, none of them on any of the three triples or the double-letter squares, and it scores 1,778 points. No one has ever achieved it.
How Do You Find Words With Letters Missing?
The best way is to use our tool. Of course, you should never use it while playing competitive games because it would count as looking up words in the Official Scrabble Player’s Dictionary prior to playing. But, if you wanted to ask yourself, «Which words from letters in my rack can I make?» during a friendly Words With Friends game, then that would not be bad form. Outside of competition, study as many words as you want using the website. It’s an invaluable training tool!

How to find words containing some letters?
dCode allows to search and find words with some letters in them, by patterns of letters in a word (including jokers — or ?), or by specific letters in any position (at the beginning, in the middle or at the end).
Example: Search for words containing the letters ABC in any order gives: CAB, JACOB etc.
Example: Search for words containing the pattern A-A-A-A gives: ALABAMA, etc.
Example: Search for words including the exact pattern ABC gives: LABCOAT, etc. (Letters are necessarily consecutive)
Example: Search for words having the letters ABC in this order: FABRIC, PAYBACK etc.
To find word with a maximum of letters, use the longest word solver.
To find a word with letters shuffled in any order, use the anagram solver.
To find words with letters in certain positions, use the crossword solver.
It is also possible to exclude some letters (words containing some letters but not some others).
How to cheat at letters games?
All letter games (crosswords, scrabble, boggle, wordle, etc.) already have dedicated pages on dCode but some variants can be solved with this tool.
Example: Find a word with the following letters: ORWD. The generator will find WORD (that is an anagram)

Find words using these letters / Find words in a word
This search will find all words contained in the letters that you specify, as long as the word is in this word list. The resulting words will have some or all of the letters, and only these letters. This search is sensitive to the frequency of occurrence of letters in the requested set. For example, if you specify 2 e’s in your request, the resulting words will have, at most, 2 e’s. More words will result from more letters, but too many letters might produce too many words and obscure your findings. The contains only search is a good Scrabble® or Words with Friends™ helper. Enter your letters and click the Find Words
button. If you find yourself entering a letter set in the contains only search box, and doing repeated searches, each time altering a single letter, perhaps the contains only, plus one blank tile search, would work better for you.

How to find English words that contain?
This resource can be used to find English words that contain specific words. This is a unseful resource if you want to expand words a student already knows. For example, once they can pronounce and spell «and», it might be less difficult to begin to introduce them to words like «hand» or «abandon». Similarly, you could use this resource to show how sequences of letters are not always pronounced the same way, for example the «and» in «sandwich», the d is much softer, so the letters are not pronounced in the same way.
You can even search for the letters of the word separately. Simply enter the letters that you want the words to contain and then from the drop-down box decide whether you would like to see results that contain your selected letters together or apart. The resource will then provide all the English words that fit your criteria. All the words will be listed alphabetically.
For example, if you enter the letters «and» and «letters together,» there will be over 3,000 word results, such as abandon, hand, etc.
Now, if you enter the letters «and» and «letters separately,» you will get over 30,000 word results, such as acanthopodous, zoanthidea, etc.
We also have other resources for finding English anagrams, English words that end in, English words that start with, English word search generators, and loads of English converters for language learners.
