Solve missing letters crossword clues

How to find the missing letters in a word? Underscores in a crossword clue represent the missing letters of a word. Filling the blanks with letters will give you the crossword answer.
 
Sometimes the clue is straightforward and the answer is the word itself. Other times you need to think more creatively and form a new word from only the missing letters. Crosswords can be tricky to solve, but that is also the reason why they are so much fun.

How to use the crossword solver?

Use our crossword help to find missing letters of clues. We solve puzzles by using pattern search.
  • First you need to type the word, name or city in the search field. The crossword solver allows you to search for answers that are up to fifteen letters long. For letters you do not know write a question mark.
  • Now choose the length of the word. This will narrow down the search considerably. Also remember that you will not find answers if the word you search for is longer than the word length you chose.
  • Last but not least press the get answers button.
