Sift the English language.
Type what you know, exclude what you don't — LetterSift sifts 6,964 five-letter words down to your answer in milliseconds. Built for Wordle, Scrabble and crosswords.
Fill known positions, add must-have and banned letters. Yellow tiles as letter+position
(e.g. a2 = A in the word but not 2nd; spaces ok). "Must contain" needs each letter once —
ee matches words with at least one E. A letter in both green tiles and "Must not contain"
gives zero results. Results update live.
Start from a pattern, not a blank page.
Each page is a complete computed list for one high-value word pattern — the exact situations Wordle players actually get stuck in. No thin filler: a real list, an exact count, real stats.
