Common-list words come first. Within each group, words covering letters found in more of the remaining matches rank higher; fixed letters do not add to the score. This is a useful-guess guide, not the probability of an answer. Each game uses its own accepted word list.

Enter the centre letter and the six outer letters from the board you are playing.

A match is a prompt to think, not confirmation that it is one of the intended groups.

EXPLORE HELPERS
Use known positions and letter clues to find words from four to ten letters.
E is already set in the fifth box. Add any required letters, excluded letters, and other fixed positions from the puzzle.
Many five-letter words end with E. Use the live finder to apply the rest of your clues instead of working through a long static list.
The helper supports words from four to ten letters, so you can change the slider if your puzzle has a different answer length.
Keep E in the fifth Known letters box and add O in the third. Enter ST in Must include. STONE fits those clues: _ _ O _ E with S and T somewhere in the word.
The included letters can appear in any order. Compare each suggestion with any position exclusions from your puzzle before making a guess.
These are illustrative clues, not a daily puzzle answer. Each game decides which words it accepts.

Use Letter counts to set a minimum or maximum number of copies. A known position fixes one copy in that position; it does not rule out another copy elsewhere. Wrong positions lets you exclude a letter from a particular position.
No. It filters a dictionary using the clues you enter. The familiar five-letter group comes from a fixed historical list, not a live daily-answer feed. A suggested word is not a confirmed answer.
Each game chooses its own accepted-word list. These helpers use a general English dictionary that includes uncommon words, so a match is not a guarantee that your game accepts it.
