Blossom helper

Find longer words and pangrams from your flower.

Your puzzle

Include the center; each distinct letter once.

Use a dot for each unknown letter, such as C..NE. Leave empty to show every length.

Separate words with spaces or new lines.

Seven numbers: 4-letter base, 5-letter base, 6-letter base, 7-letter base, points per extra letter, pangram bonus, points per bonus-petal occurrence. Leave empty for length ranking.

One outer letter. Used only when scoring values are supplied.

Dictionary and candidate scope

The local dictionary is independent of the publisher's accepted list. Names, phrases and short words may need a list you enter.

Used only when Words I enter is selected. Separate 1–48-letter words with spaces or new lines; up to 2,000 words.

The example illustrates the helper; it is not a publisher's daily puzzle.

A little help

Enter your puzzle or try the original example. You choose when to open candidates, explanations and complete results.

How the Blossom helper works

Find longer words and pangrams from your flower. Enter your own puzzle state to calculate candidates or check its constraints.

Results use the puzzle you enter; they are not verified daily answers. Your entries stay out of public URLs.

Work through a position

With ABCDEFG and center A, DECADE fits because letters can repeat; DEED does not contain A. Compare length and the pangram marker before spending one of your twelve entries.

Read the result carefully

Optional scoring ranks each candidate by its base length value, any pangram bonus, and each occurrence of the current bonus petal. Copy the seven values from your game’s help panel; leaving them blank preserves simple length ranking.
