Enter the grid pattern exactly
Use ? for blank squares. For example, ?A?E? means a five-letter answer with A in the second position and E in the fourth. Each new crossing letter can sharply reduce the possible matches.

CROSSWORD HELP
Turn crossing letters into a manageable answer list
Crossword clues often give two kinds of evidence: the clue meaning and letters supplied by crossing answers. SolveMyWords handles the letter-pattern side so you can focus on whether each candidate fits the clue.
Use required and excluded letters carefully
If you know an answer must contain another letter, add it as a requirement. Exclusions are useful when crossings have ruled letters out, but avoid excluding letters based only on a weak guess.
The clue still decides the answer
A pattern solver can produce spelling matches, but it cannot replace the clue definition, tense, abbreviation conventions or theme. Treat the result list as candidates and verify each against the crossword itself.
