How to use it
On the Unscramble tab, type the letters you have, up to 15. Use ? for a blank tile. You get every word those letters can make, and each letter is used only as many times as you typed 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.
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.
Make words from letters
Use it as a word maker for any game where you build words from a set of letters: Scrabble and Words With Friends racks, letter-wheel puzzles, anagram clues or a classroom word challenge. It lists only words that use your letters, never more copies of a letter than you typed.
Need words that contain certain letters plus others you don't have? Use the In the word box on a word finder instead. For a known pattern such as C_A_E, use the fill-in-the-blank solver.
Getting more from a rack
Results are grouped by length, longest first, because longer plays usually score more. Switch the sort to Points to compare words of the same length by their tile values; the scores shown are standard Scrabble letter values without board bonuses.
If you have a blank tile, type ? in its place. Blank tiles count as any letter but score zero, so a word that needs the blank scores slightly less than its listed points.
Which words are included
TileHound uses the ENABLE word list, a public-domain list of English words accepted by most word games. It has 51,656 words of three to seven letters. 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
How many letters can I enter?
Up to 15, including blanks. Results include every word of three to seven letters those letters can make.
Can I use the same letter twice?
Only if you typed it twice. Each letter you enter can be used once in a word, just like a tile on a rack.
Do the words have to use all my letters?
No. You see every word that can be made from some or all of your letters, longest first. To see only words that use all of them, pick the length that matches the number of letters you typed.
How do blank tiles work?
Type ? or * for each blank. A blank can stand for any letter.
Is TileHound free?
Yes. It runs in your browser without an account, and nothing you type is sent to a server.
