Free word tools
Ten tools: seven for when a word is on the tip of your tongue, and three that build a puzzle out of your own list. They run in your browser, there's nothing to sign up for, and they work for any word game — Wordmere, a crossword, a Scrabble board, or a letter wheel you're staring at on the bus.

Open the crossword maker →Where the words come from
The seven solving tools share one dictionary: 104,562 English words from three to eight letters, built from the public-domain dwyl/english-words list with offensive entries removed. It's the same list Wordmere uses to decide whether a bonus word counts, so if a tool shows you a word, the game will accept it. The two puzzle makers don't use it at all — the words in a word search or a crossword are the ones you type in.
Why a word game makes free tools
Because getting stuck shouldn't mean closing the app and searching a cheat site full of pop-ups. If you're playing Wordmere, a hint costs nothing and reveals a letter. If you're playing something else, these are here anyway. Wordmere itself is a cosy crossword where every word you find builds part of a 3-D world — no timers, no lives, nothing to lose.
