We’ve all been there. You’re playing Wordle or Scrabble and need a five-letter word that starts with a specific letter. No need to wrack your brain trying to find a way to use the letters in your rack. Our word finder is here to help you find the perfect word for your winning play.

How to Use Our Five-Letter Word Finder

Don’t stress or waste your word game time with a cumbersome dictionary. Our tool is super easy to use when you know which letter (or letters) your five-letter word starts with. Here’s how:

  1. Input your letters. Enter up to five letters in the exact starting position you need.
  2. Generate your list. Instantly see every five-letter word you can make with those letters.
  3. Select your game. Choose the specific game you’re playing to see which words are legal for that game. We’ve got lists for Words With Friends, Scrabble, and more.

Tips to Find Five-Letter Words Starting With These Letters

Using our word finder is really easy, but you can make it even easier by keeping a few little strategies in mind:

  • Use every starting letter you know. You can narrow down your results by using more than one starting letter. For example, there are over 700 five-letter words starting with “C.” However, if you look for words starting with “CLA,” there are only about 25.
  • Choose your game. Once you get your word list, make sure it’s exactly what you need by selecting the word game you’re playing. There are 25 “CLA” words for Words With Friends, but only 23 “CLA” words for Scrabble in the US.
  • Sort the words the way you want. You can sort the words alphabetically, reverse alphabetically, or by points. This makes it way easier to find exactly what you need.
