How to use it

On the Letters tab, type letters you have placed into the Correct spot boxes. Put letters that are in the word but not in that position into the matching Wrong spot box; a box can hold several letters. If you only know a word contains certain letters, in any order, type them into In the word. Type every letter you have ruled out into Not in word. The results update as you type.

On the Guess board tab, type a word you have already played and press Add. Tap each tile until it matches the colors the game showed you: gray for a letter not in the answer, yellow for a letter in the wrong spot and green for a letter in the right spot. Add each guess the same way and the list narrows after every one.

On the Unscramble tab, type the letters you have, up to 15. Use ? for a blank tile. You get every 6-letter word those letters can make, and each letter is used only as many times as you typed it.

Tap any word in the results to copy it. Sort by Best guess to see the words most likely to split the remaining list, A–Z for an alphabetical list, or Points for Scrabble scores.

Tips for 6-letter words

Six-letter words often come from a five-letter word plus an ending. If you know the stem, put its letters in the correct-spot boxes and check the endings -S, -Y and -D in the list.

Which words are included

TileHound uses the ENABLE word list, a public-domain list of English words accepted by most word games. It has 15,182 6-letter words. Offensive words have been removed. Each game has its own dictionary, so a word here may occasionally be rejected by a game, or a game may accept a word that is not listed.

Questions

What does "wrong spot" mean?

The letter is in the answer, but not in the position where you tried it. In Wordle it is shown in yellow. TileHound keeps words that contain the letter somewhere else.

How many 6-letter words are there?

Our word list has 15,182 6-letter words. Most games use a similar list, but each game's dictionary differs slightly.

How do repeated letters work?

If a guess shows one copy of a letter as green or yellow and another copy as gray, the answer contains that letter exactly as many times as it was colored. TileHound applies the same rule, so a gray copy does not remove the letter altogether.

Is TileHound free?

Yes. Every tool works in your browser without an account, and nothing you type is sent to a server.
