Guide to Finding 7-Letter Words

Word Finder is a free tool used to find words and answers to word puzzles and word games like Scrabble. It comes with built-in word lists based on the English language dictionary, Scrabble UK dictionary, Scrabble US dictionary, and WWF dictionary.

If you get a really good combination of consonants and vowels, you’ll have room to unleash all the high-scoring 2-letter and 3-letter Scrabble words in your arsenal. But even when your game plan is to score bonus points using short words, finding a 7-letter word is still often the stronger move.

Instead of wasting time and giving your opponent time to land a move that might be your very undoing, you can take advantage of word lists to increase your chances of winning.

Also, when solving word puzzles like 4 Pics 1 Word or popular Jumble games like Word Cookies and Wordscapes, seven-letter words can really save the day.

Whether you’re keen on a particular combination of letters or looking for words that start with a particular letter, say the letter "E," a word solver is your trusted companion for word games and word puzzles.
