Redactle helper

Narrow title candidates using visible lengths, exact hit counts and reference context.

Your puzzle

One dot per hidden letter, with known letters, spaces and hyphens preserved.

word | count, one per line. Enter only counts already observed.

Optional: title | topic keywords. Without these, checks single words in the independent dictionary.

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.

How the Redactle helper works

Narrow title candidates using visible lengths, exact hit counts and reference context. Work from the information you have already revealed; this helper does not fetch an official daily answer.

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

Use shape as a hard constraint

A five-letter title cannot be a six-letter candidate. Keep spaces and hyphens because a two-word title and a single word impose different constraints.

Treat hits and misses differently

In the original example OCEAN has zero hits, so the exact title OCEAN conflicts with that observation. WATER has eight hits, making RIVER plausible in the supplied references, but many unrelated titles can mention water. Positive hit counts alone do not prove the subject.

Follow the article structure

Use the opening sentence to distinguish a person, place, object or concept, then add candidate titles with facts you have checked. A reference keyword is useful context, not a substitute for the full question or title spelling.
