Questions this page gets asked
Which dictionary is this?
ENABLE — 172,823 words, released into the public domain — with commonness taken from the English Speller Database. It is not a tournament word list: those belong to their publishers, we do not license them, and this site will never claim to hold one. A word that scores in a club game can be missing here, and a word here can be missing from a club list.
What does the ? do?
It stands for any one letter, the way a blank tile does. Type ARTE?? and the finder tries every letter in both positions. Up to fifteen letters in total.
Do my letters leave the browser?
No. The dictionary is a set of static files; your browser downloads the lengths it needs once and searches them locally. There is no search endpoint on this site to send anything to.
Why are some words in bold and some grey?
Bold means the word is in the everyday tier of the size-ranked list — roughly the English a speller expects everyone to know. Grey means the dictionaries file it further out. It is a size tier, not a frequency count: nobody here is claiming to know how often a word is used.
Why does a word have no page?
A word gets a page of its own when it is in the everyday tier and no longer than five letters — 5,821 of them so far. The limit is the host's 20,000 files per deployment, not the dictionary, and it moves up as the site grows.
