lookup

Rust-based word game solver

Stuck finding a crossword clue, where you've got several letters? Try

lookup _R_E_T

and it will show you all words that fit your clue. Too many results? Maybe the clue is "pressing" so you can do:

lookup -t pressing _R_E_T

and it will show the only answer that matches: "urgent". The -t flag means a thesaurus lookup.

Have an anagram to solve? Say the anagram is "beget grand urban", the answer is 11,4 in length, and you have the letters B_A_______G/___E - you can issue the -j (jumble) command:

lookup begetgrandurban -j -f B_A_______G/___E

and it will write out the letters remaining in a circle to make it easier to see the possible answer (in this case, "Brandenbug Gate"):

    N U D
  A       E
  R       N
  G
    B T R

  B _ A _ _ _ _ _ _ _ G   _ _ _ E

The optional -f flag there allows you to specify the letters you've already found.

There are many other options, including regex searches if you understand them. Type lookup -h to see what's available.
