About Lexiowl

Lexiowl is a set of free word tools – an unscrambler, an anagram solver, a word finder, a five-letter word solver, a rhyme finder and a syllable counter. It is published and edited by Daniel Gavalec, who is responsible for the content. There is no team of word experts behind it, and we do not pretend otherwise: what we offer is careful, testable software and an open, documented word list.

What we care about

• Exact results. Repeated letters and blank tiles are counted exactly; five-letter feedback with duplicate letters is scored the standard way. Automated tests check these cases before every release.
• Open data. The 172,670-word list comes from the public-domain ENABLE list, with commonness from SCOWL and pronunciations from the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary. Sources, versions, licences and exclusions are on our word list page.
• Numbers from data, not from memory. Statistics in the guides – such as the best starting words – are computed from the word list by a script every time the site is built.
• Speed and privacy. The tools run in your browser. What you type is not sent to our server.

What we do not do

• We do not publish daily puzzle answers.
• We do not use official tournament word lists, which are copyrighted; a game you play may accept or reject a few words differently.
• We are not affiliated with any game or its publisher.

Illustrations

The owl mascot and logo were drawn for Lexiowl as vector graphics. The illustrations in some guides and the background of our social-media preview image were generated with an AI image model and checked by the editor; they show only abstract letter tiles, no real people or products.

Advertising

The site is funded by ads, which are always labelled “Advertisement” and never influence results. Ads are kept away from the tool controls and results.
