5 Letter Words Solver

About & sources

A fast, plain word solver: give it your clues and it shows every five-letter word that fits, with the full lists readable on every page.

What it does

The solver checks 8,636 five-letter words against your green, yellow and grey letters, right in your browser. The word lists (starting with, ending with and containing each letter) are complete on the page: no "show more", no account.

Sources and licences

  • Words: the ENABLE word list (Enhanced North American Benchmark Lexicon), in the public domain.
  • Word frequency: wordfreq 3.1.1 by Robyn Speer, github.com/rspeer/wordfreq. Its data is licensed CC BY-SA 4.0. We use only a rounded frequency score per word, to decide which words count as common.
  • Common words: words with a Zipf frequency of 3 or more, roughly once per million words of English. A few vulgar words stay in the solver but are never featured as common.

The lists were last rebuilt on 2026-10-29.
