Wordsolver finds the best words for your word games! Features: - Type in up to 15 letters and our word solver will descramble all the words inside; - Supports blank tiles (we call them wildcards), just type in a question mark (?); - Click on a word to see the definition of the word if the device's built-in dictionary has one; - Optional additive filters for fitting words around pre-existing letters on a game-board. Perfect for most anagram-based word games, Wordsolver can solve both online word games and back-of-the-newspaper type anagram puzzles in an instant. Simply type in up to 15 letters, and use question marks (?) for blank tiles and Wordsolver will return a list of every valid word that can be found in those letters. Click on a word on the results screen for a definition of that word using the built-in dictionary. Wordsolver also allows additive filters so that the letters entered can be wrapped around letters that other players have placed on the board. Simply set the filter mode to Starts, Contains or Ends and enter the letter(s) that you wish to appear in every result. This is very useful when attempting to find a place to put letters on a game board where there are already letters on the board! Wordsolver has dictionaries for: - US / Canada (TWL) - English (SOWPODS) - WWF (ENABLE) - 4P1W - Drawsthing The top three dictionaries cover almost every online word game.
