When a 2-letter list helps most
Use exact word length when you already know the number of blanks in a crossword, Wordle pattern, or tile rack. Short words are useful for hooks and tight spaces; longer words are better for anagrams and high-scoring plays.
Choose the fastest next step
A length list is a strong starting point, but the best route changes once you know more about the answer.
