Start with the crossing you trust
Length alone is broad. These rows give you a faster first pass before you narrow with crossings, confirmed letters, or game feedback.
Good for crossword clues, fill-in-the-blank prompts, and everyday two-letter answers.
Useful when the clue points to a preposition, pronoun, verb, or common phrase fragment.
Check these when scoring matters, then confirm the game dictionary before playing them.

When to use it
Use the list for the job in front of you
Clue has a fixed length Use the list when the grid, prompt, or puzzle tells you there are exactly 2 letters.
Every square matters For two-letter answers, one crossing can decide the whole word, so compare both letters before scanning longer lists.
Score still matters Base scores show raw letter value. Board bonuses, hooks, and game dictionaries still need a final check.
Next step
Move to a tighter tool when you know more
Exact length is a strong starting point. Once you know letters, positions, or feedback, a solver will cut the list down faster.
