Where the answers and hints come from

Answers are checked against the official game's public puzzle data. Each page identifies its puzzle date and source; when the current puzzle cannot be verified, its answers are withheld.

Letter hints are calculated from each answer; any dictionary meaning has its source shown beside the hint. Where the game publishes a clue, it is labelled “Puzzle clue”. FiveLetterWords is independent of Word Salad. Contact us about a correction.
