Word data
The public finder uses a bundled local English five-letter dictionary. Results are filtered in the browser/server app without sending each query to an external word API.
Data policy
Practical word data for puzzle and word-game search
5 Letter Words is a tool-first site. The public pages are designed to help users filter real five-letter English words by known positions, starts, endings, contained sequences, available letters, and dictionary scope.
Default public behavior
Finder and list pages default to the combined All Dictionaries view. The Wordle solver defaults to the bundled NYT Crossplay answer set for possible answers.
Dictionary filters
Entries are grouped by dictionary flags for NYT Crossplay, Words With Friends, Scrabble US, Scrabble UK, and All Dictionaries. The combined dictionary is the broadest public search mode.
Scores
Word tiles show Scrabble-style point values to help compare board-game plays. Scores are a sorting aid, not a guarantee that every game variant accepts the same word.
Updates and limits
The site focuses on English five-letter words. It does not publish daily Wordle answers automatically and does not create definition pages without a reliable meaning source.
