If you’ve ever played games like Scrabble or Wordle, you’ve probably wished for a tool that could quickly find words from a set of letters. In this post, we’ll walk through how you can make your own using basic web development skills.
🧠 Step 1: Understand the Logic
At the core, a word finder checks every word in a dictionary and compares it with the letters the user provides. If the letters can form a word, it’s displayed as a result.
⚙️ Step 2: Set Up Your Code
You can create your tool with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
HTML creates the input form.
CSS makes it look attractive.
JavaScript handles the logic — checking which words can be made from the given letters.
Here’s a simplified snippet example:
const words = ["apple", "pear", "grape", "banana"];
const input = "aple";
const results = words.filter(word =>
input.split('').every(letter => word.includes(letter))
);
console.log(results); // ["apple"]
🧩 Step 3: Add Word Database
You can use a word list JSON file (like from WordFinderTips.com) containing thousands of valid English words.
Example:
fetch('words.json')
.then(res => res.json())
.then(words => { /* logic here */ });
🌐 Step 4: Publish Your Tool
Once your code works locally, host it on any static web hosting platform — such as Netlify, Vercel, or GitHub Pages.
