Find six-letter words from a rack or known positions.
A six-letter pattern has six positions, even when you only know a few of them. Paste L_T_E_ to place L first, T third, and E fifth; leave the other three positions open.
Include EE to require two Es in the whole word, and exclude A. LETTER fits. The E already placed in position 5 counts as one of the two, so only one more E is required.
Use the included field for letters whose positions are still uncertain. Type a letter twice only when you need two copies. Adding an excluded letter that is already known or required creates a conflict you can fix before searching.
For six-letter words from a loose rack, choose Letters to words on this page. The length stays fixed at six, and each available copy matters. For rearranging every letter of a rack of any supported length, use the anagram solver.

Questions about this search
Can I make six-letter words from more than six available letters?
Yes. Choose Letters to words and enter a rack of up to 15 letters. Matches use exactly six available letters on this page. Leave Use all letters unchecked when your rack is longer than six; selecting it would require an incompatible length.
How do two required Es interact with a known E?
Include EE means at least two Es in the whole six-letter word. A known E already in a numbered box counts as one; the engine then needs at least one more. Include letters does not require an ordered “EE” substring.
Why is an apparently valid six-letter word absent?
Check the positions, excluded letters and repeated-letter counts. Clear an uncertain clue and search again. The general American English list is not a complete vocabulary or an official game dictionary, and this finder does not rank words by how commonly they are used.
