Frequently Asked Questions
Type _ for each unknown letter in its position. Type any letters you know in their correct spots. Then add letters already guessed wrong to the Excluded field.
Excluded letters are removed from all results — any word containing those letters won't be shown. This matches the 'wrong guess' letters in hangman.
