Frequently Asked Questions

How does the crossword helper rank results?

Words are ranked by Scrabble tile-score by default (highest first), with each result showing matching crossword clues from our 1.99M-clue American corpus. When a Clue Hint is provided, results are filtered to words whose clues semantically match the hint, with a Best Matches panel ranking by clue relevance using a 5-star system.

Why are some crossword answers phrases like NEWYORKCITY or ABRAHAMLINCOLN?

American-style crossword grids often have long across-rows that span the full puzzle width. Common answers include compound words, proper nouns, and multi-word phrases with spaces removed. Our American Crossword dictionary contains 413,289 such answers extracted from real published puzzles.

What does the smart pattern field accept?

Use ? as wildcard for unknown letters (?A?I? finds 5-letter words with A in position 2 and I in position 4). Pure numbers expand to wildcards (8 = eight letters; 94 = 13 wildcards from 9+4). Mixed: ?A4 = 6 letters, 2nd is A. Underscore _ also works as wildcard.

Can I solve British cryptic crosswords?

Yes — our cryptic clue corpus has 62,018 words with 381,813 Ximenean-style cryptic clues from Guardian, Times, and other UK puzzle sources. The cascade automatically falls back to cryptic when a word has no straight-definition clues.

Why do some clicked words show no clues in the popup?

Some answer words exist in our 413K-word answer dictionary but lack curated clues — typically very obscure or technical terms. The popup also fetches definitions from the Free Dictionary API plus links to Merriam-Webster, Wiktionary, and Dictionary.com so you always get word context even when our corpus has no example clues.
