Advanced Finder
TurnWord™ Advanced Finder is a position-precise five-letter word search tool.
Enter letters into the word row, set each tile to green, yellow, or gray to reflect what your puzzle has told you,
and tap Search 
to see results instantly.
Use the Letters in Word and Letters Not in Word fields to add letter constraints that aren't tied to a specific position.
The more constraints you enter, the sharper and more useful the results become.

Use the Letters in Word and Letters Not in Word fields to add letter constraints that aren't tied to a specific position.
The more constraints you enter, the sharper and more useful the results become.The Word Row
The word row is the primary input. Type up to five letters — one per slot — and tap each tile to set its constraint state. Empty tiles are ignored. Each letter you type starts with no color. When you tap Search, any letter you left uncolored counts as gray —
unless it is already in Letters in Word, in which case it is simply ignored.
Each tap moves the tile to the next color — green, yellow, gray, then back to no color:C
Green — Correct: Right letter, right position. Keep it there.
P
Yellow — Present: Right letter, wrong position. Move it next guess.
A
Gray — Absent: Letter not in word.
You don't need to fill all five slots.
Enter as few or as many letters as you have information for — then tap Search to update the results.
Green and gray letters can only be changed in the row: tap to change a color, or delete the letter.
The same letter can be placed in more than one position.

Green and gray letters can only be changed in the row: tap to change a color, or delete the letter.
The same letter can be placed in more than one position.Letters in Word
Type letters you know are somewhere in the word but haven't placed in a specific position. These letters will be required to appear in every result, regardless of where. Use this for letters from yellow tiles across multiple guesses, or letters you've confirmed through other means. Yellow tiles in the word row are added here automatically, and removing one here turns its tile gray.Letters Not in Word
Type letters you've ruled out entirely — they will be excluded from every result. Use this for letters that were gray in earlier guesses. Gray tiles in the word row are added here automatically, and can only be removed in the row.Results
Results update when you tap Search. Most common words appear first.
When fewer words match, you can switch to Fewest left, which puts first the words that leave the fewest possibilities, whatever colors come back; the bars beside each word then show how many could be left.
You can tap on a Word's Definition 
to learn more about it.
Tap a result's tiles to load it into the word row: green letters carry over, the rest come in with no color.
Set them to match your puzzle and tap Search . Earlier yellow letters are remembered: a letter that was yellow in a spot is still ruled out of that spot. Advanced Finder, Quick Finder, and Word Solver are all powerful companions to these daily games, each helping you solve in a different way.
Pagination
When there are more results than fit on one page, use the previous and next controls to navigate. Narrowing your constraints is often more effective than paging through a long list. The line above the list shows how many words match; only the top 20 are listed.Search
Tap Search to search based on current letters, feedback, and constraints.Reset 
Tap Reset to clear the word row, Letters in Word, and Letters Not in Word all at once,
resetting Advanced Finder to its starting state for a new search.Tips and Strategy
- Mirror your puzzle's feedback exactly — one incorrect tile color can send the results in the wrong direction
- Use green tiles to lock strong letters. Even a single confirmed position eliminates a large portion of the word list
- Use yellow tiles carefully — they carry two facts at once: the letter is present, and it is not in the position you placed it. Both constraints apply to results
- Use Letters in Word for letters confirmed across multiple guesses that you haven't locked to a position yet
- Combine the word row and both letter fields freely — all constraints apply simultaneously
- If you know where letters go — or don't — Advanced Finder will outperform Quick Finder every time. The more positional information you have, the more precise the results.
- Tap a result's Definition to learn more before deciding whether to play it. Tap its tiles to load it into the word row, set its colors, and search again.
You know where some letters go.
You know others don't belong. TurnWord™ Advanced Finder turns that into a precise, ranked word list — position by position, no guessing required.
Quick Finder finds words by letters alone. Advanced Finder goes further — pin a green letter to its exact slot, push a yellow one away from the position it can't be,
and rule out every gray letter entirely. The more you know, the sharper the results.
Sound Familiar?
"I have a green tile and want words with that letter in that exact spot"
Set it green in the word row — Advanced Finder filters to words with that letter locked in position
"I got a yellow tile and know the letter can't go in that position"
Set it yellow — Advanced Finder finds words containing the letter but excludes that position
"I've stacked up green, yellow, and gray tiles and need something that fits all of them at once"
Advanced Finder applies every constraint simultaneously. Enter what you know and tap Search to filter the list

Common Questions
Can I use Advanced Finder for Wordle?
Yes. Set the colors your puzzle gave you, add present and absent letters, and search. It works for Wordle and any five-letter word game.
What do the three tile states mean?
Green: the letter is in that position. Yellow: in the word, but not there. Gray: not in the word.
How are results ranked?
By strength: the most likely puzzle answers first, each with a definition.
How many results do I see?
Up to 20 of the strongest matches. Narrow the search with another letter or color to see the rest.
What is the difference from Quick Finder?
Quick Finder ignores positions: one tap marks a letter in or out. Advanced Finder is position-precise.
Can I search from a result?
Yes. Tap a result twice to load it into the word row and keep narrowing, the way one guess leads to the next.
