Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is a search for words containing …? (Definition)
A word search containing certain letters or letter sequences involves identifying dictionary words that contain a specific pattern of letters. This search is commonly used in word games (Scrabble, Crosswords, etc.) and requires different criteria (letters in order, out of order, anagram, addition of letters, etc.). dCode offers all these search modes in a single tool to list all words with the desired letter or series of letters.
How to find words containing some letters?
dCode allows you to search for words made from letters, based on a pattern of letters (with wildcards like - or ?) or with letters in any position (at the beginning, middle, or end).
— Word search based on certain letters (by adding others), a principle used in word pyramids
Example: Words containing each of the letters 'A, B, C' in any order: CAB or JACOB and maintaining the order (A then B then C): FABRIC or PAYBACK
— Word search based on a pattern (unknown/missing letters), a principle used in crossword puzzles
Example: Words having the pattern A-A-A-A: ALABAMA in 7 letters or TARATATA in 8 letters
— Search for words containing a sequence of letters (word extension), a principle used in Scrabble or crosswords
Example: Words including the 3-letter group ABC: LABCOAT or CRABCAKE
— Search for words formed from a given list of letters (use as many letters as possible), using the principle of the longest word game or Scrabble.
Example: Longest words created from the letters ABCDEFG: BADGE (5 letters) or FACE (4 letters).
— Search for words by rearranging the letters (mixed letters), using the principle of anagrams.
Example: Search for anagrams of ABC: CAB or BAC
For all these searches, it is also possible to exclude certain letters (words containing some letters but not others) and filter by number of letters.
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)
