Text Twist and Wordscapes Solver

Letter-wheel games give you a small set of letters, often six or seven, and ask you to find every word hidden in them, usually three letters or longer. This solver lists them all from its word list, longest first, so you can find the word that uses every letter and fill in the shorter ones you're missing. If the game shows the shape of an answer with some letters already filled in, a slot pattern narrows the list to just the words that fit.

One solver, several games

Text Twist, Wordscapes, Word Cookies and plenty of newspaper word wheels all ask the same thing: find the words hidden in a small set of letters, usually three letters or longer, without reusing a letter. The rules for minimum length and which words count vary, so the solver lets you set the minimum length.

How to use it

1. Type the letters from the wheel (up to 10).
2. Optionally add a slot pattern for one answer, using ? for the squares you don't have yet.
3. Choose a minimum length if your game only counts longer words.
4. Press Solve. Use Twist to shuffle the letters if you want to keep trying on your own.

Slot patterns

Wordscapes-style games show the shape of each answer in a crossword grid. If a four-square answer already has an A in the second square, enter ?A?? and you'll see only the words that fit.

The Twist button

Staring at the same letter order is the classic way to get stuck. Twist shuffles your letters, the same trick the games offer, often enough to make a word jump out.

A worked example

• The letters DRANGE give 62 words of three letters or more.
• 4 use all six letters: DANGER, GANDER, GARDEN and RANGED. In many wheel games, finding one of those completes the round.
• With the slot pattern ?A??, the list narrows to 11: DANG, DARE, DARN, EARN, GAED, GAEN, GANE and NARD.
• With a minimum length of 5, there are 11.

Reading the results

Words are grouped by length, longest first, and alphabetical within each group. The letter tiles above the results show your wheel with each letter's common tile value. Tap a word to look it up.

Common mistakes

• Including a letter twice. Type each tile from the wheel once, unless the wheel really has two.
• Wrong slot length. The pattern must have exactly as many characters as the answer's squares.
• Expecting every listed word to count. Games accept their own set of words; plurals and rare words are the usual differences.

Limits and accuracy

Words come from the open ENABLE word list. Different games use different dictionaries, so always check the rules of your game. The list is broader than any one game's, so you'll see extra words these games don't accept. Longer, more common words are the safest bets. Letterpile is independent of the games named here.
