Search tips – Wordfeud Rules

Start with your letters

Enter the tiles you want to use, for example TRAIN. Uppercase and lowercase both work. The search shows words you can form without using any letter more often than you have it.

Add blank tiles

A question mark represents one blank tile. Enter TRAIN? to include one blank, or use the Add a blank button. You can use up to two blanks. Underlined letters in the results are supplied by blanks and score zero points.

Include letters on the board

Open Refine your search and enter one consecutive sequence in Letters on the board. For example, enter TS? as your letters and CAR on the board. Every board letter must appear together, in that order, and a result must use at least one additional tile.

You can also write C-A-RTS? in the main search box. Hyphens link C, A and R as the board sequence. The remaining T, S and ? are your available tiles. Use either the hyphen notation or the board field, not both in the same search.

Refine the results

Choose a minimum and maximum word length between 2 and 15 letters. The total input, including board letters and blanks, cannot exceed 15. Sort by highest score, longest word or alphabetically. There are 30 results per page.

Check the move on your board

The search uses your letters and the board sequence you enter; it does not know every tile on your board. Check adjacent words, available space and bonus squares yourself. The bingo marker means the word uses seven new tiles. Its 40-point bonus is additional to the tile score.

This English word finder uses ENABLE 2K. It is not an exact replacement for Wordfeud’s US or international dictionary.

From your rack to a useful list of words

Enter your letters and choose «Find words». Results may use all or some of the letters, with letter points as the default ordering. Uppercase and lowercase work equally well. Enter repeated letters as many times as you have them.

Add blanks and board letters

Use ? for each blank, up to two. For example, CA? can make CAT, with the blank supplying T for zero points. Blank-supplied letters are underlined in the results.

Under «Refine your search», put CAR in the board-letter field and TS? in your rack. The whole CAR sequence must appear together and in that order. The alternative notation C-A-RTS? expresses the same search. Use either this notation or the board field, not both.

Existing board letters are treated as ordinary tiles. The search does not check crossing words, empty spaces or existing blanks, so you must verify those on the board.

Choose length and understand the score

Filter from 2 to 15 letters and sort by points, longest word or alphabet. Input is limited to 15 letters in total, including board letters and blanks. Long searches with blanks may take longer. If there are no results, check your blanks and try fewer board letters or a wider length range.

The score adds letter values with blanks worth zero. Board bonuses and crossing words are not included. A separate 40-point bingo indicator appears when a result uses all seven supplied rack tiles; word length alone is not enough.

What the dictionary includes

The English search uses ENABLE 2K entries of 2–15 letters, using A–Z. It does not add free-standing suffixes that are absent from the list. ENABLE is not an exact copy of Wordfeud's US or international English dictionary, so check uncertain words in the app. Use the anagram solver when you want every letter used exactly once, or review your rack after a match to learn for next time.
