Welcome to FiveLetterWords
Use the solver when you have tile feedback, Finder when you only know some letters, or Practice when you want another game.
Each round has seven distinct letters, at least one pangram and a manageable number
of words. Sharing the puzzle sends your friend the same set of letters.
This is an independent practice tool. Use the solver
if you'd rather see every matching word in this site's list for a specific puzzle, or
use hints if you want help without spoilers.
Prefer one shared puzzle a day? Play the Daily Bee.
Everyone gets the same letters, so you can compare scores and build a streak.
