Type the letters you already know and mark the gaps. A single ? (or _) stands for exactly one missing letter, so c?t finds cat, cot, cut. A * stands for any run of letters, so *tion finds every word ending in “tion” and cr* finds every word starting with “cr”. Combine them freely.
It’s built for crossword clues, but it’s just as handy for hangman, Wordle-style guessing, and any puzzle where you know some positions. Stuck on letters you know aren’t in the answer? Drop them in the exclude box and they’ll be filtered out.
