Bongo helper

Find a row or bonus-line word from your remaining rack.

Your puzzle

Repeat letters to preserve tile counts; omit the wild.

0 or 1.

Three to five dots/known letters.

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 Bongo helper works

Find a row or bonus-line word from your remaining rack. 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

CRNE plus one wild can form CRANE, using the wild as A. CRANE also consumes R, so another row cannot reuse that tile unless another R remains.

Read the result carefully

One-line rack help only. The publisher’s common-word bonuses, variable daily scoring and full-board optimum are not calculated.
