Pro-tips for winning your word game

Tilebot presents the Ultimate Word Game DSL

Welcome to the inner sanctum of word solving! To help you dominate your games, Tilebot (hereinafter: Professor Tilebot) spent weeks reading every dictionary, tournament rulebook, and tactical manual ever printed (including Scrabble for Dummies) so you don't have to. Whether you're hunting for 50-point Scrabble bingos, destroying opponents in Words with Friends, or crushing daily Wordle and crossword puzzles, this guide turns our solver into your ultimate secret word game weapon.

Quick Refresher: The Basics

Before diving into advanced slot physics, here is the basic progression:

Simple Anagram: abdgint searches your loose rack tiles for valid words.
Wildcards: ? opens 1 flexible slot for any letter.
Glued Blocks: [ing] forces a connected sequence in that exact order.

1. What is a Slot?

When you pin letters inside position anchors (>…<), you move seamlessly from simple anagrams to building a physical row of squares on the game board. A Slot is simply one single tile space on the board.

>a< → 1 slot: The letter A in board position 1.
>abcd< → 4 slots: The sequence A-B-C-D targeting slots 1–4.
????>abcd< → 4 slots shifted: 4 wildcards take slots 1–4, shifting A-B-C-D to target slots 5–8!

2. The Choice Operator (`|`) — Multiple Options for 1 Slot

The pipe symbol (|) means OR. It lets you give the engine a menu of choices for a single square on the board. Because all the options inside the pipe belong to that same square, the entire group still counts as 1 slot.

>e|b|h< → 1 slot: This square must be either an E, a B, or an H.

Compare the difference:

>ebh< (3 slots): A 3-letter sequence — E, then B, then H.
>e|b|h< (1 slot): A 1-letter space — E OR B OR H.

Mental Model: Think of | as shrinking a list of options down so they all squeeze into a single tile square.

3. How Raw Inputs Collapse into Board Slots

Because choice and ban operators let you pack multiple characters into a single slot, and delimiters don't count, character position in your input box does not equal slot number on the board!

Take this pattern as an example: d<>!e|a|o<g?bn>t<

Slot 1: d<
Slot 2: >!e|a|o< (8 input characters collapse into 1 single slot!)
Slot 3: g
Slot 4: ?
Slot 5: b
Slot 6: n
Slot 7: >t<

Notice how character #16 in your input field (the letter t inside >t<) ends up targeting Slot 7 on the board! All eight characters inside >!e|a|o< collapsed into Slot 2.

Professor Tilebot says: "Yes! d<>!e|a|o<g?bn>t< might look like your cat walked across your keyboard! But to our solver, it is 100% precise, valid, and mathematically beautiful DSL search syntax."

4. The Ban Operator (`!`) & Container Rules

The exclamation mark (!) means NOT. You can use it globally across the word or inside a specific slot.

Global Bans (Anywhere in the word)

[!a] → No A allowed anywhere in the word.
[!ch] → The contiguous pair CH cannot appear anywhere in the word.

Positional Bans (In one specific square)

>!a< → 1 slot: Anything except A.
>!a|b|c|d< → 1 slot: Anything except A, B, C, or D.

⚠️ Critical Syntax Rule:

Operators require containers: Operators (! and |) cannot float freely in raw text. Exclamations must live inside [...] or >…<. Pipes are strictly for positional locks and work only inside >…<

5. Becoming Unstoppable in Wordle

Combining choice and ban operators makes you virtually unbeatable in daily word guessing games.

Imagine a Wordle scenario: You know Slot 1 is F, Slot 2 is NOT E, I, or O, the 3rd letter is R, and there is no U anywhere in the word. You simply type:

f<>!e|i|o<>r<??[!u]

The engine processes the entire board state, eliminates gray tiles, enforces green positions, filters yellow bans, and gives you the exact remaining winning options in one shot.

Cheat Sheet

Syntax	What it means	Scope / Slots
`[a]`	Required letter anywhere in the word	Global requirement
`[abc]`	Required contiguous block A-B-C	Global requirement
`[!a]`	Banned letter anywhere in the word	Global exclusion
`[!abc]`	Banned contiguous block A-B-C	Global exclusion
`>abc<`	Exact sequence A, B, C	3 slots
`>a\|b\|c<`	Choice of A, B, or C	1 slot
`>!a<`	Anything except A	1 slot
`>!a\|b\|c<`	Anything except A, B, or C	1 slot

◆ Simple anagram: Enter the letters you have (e.g., abdgint) to find valid playable words.

◆ Sub-word search: Uncheck to require exact pattern length and force all loose letters to be used.

◆ Wildcard: Use ? as a wildcard (each wildcard creates 1 slot and matches any letter).

◆ Square brackets: Use […] to require a single letter or a connected block, e.g., [d] or [ing]

◆ Angle brackets: Use < or > to lock letters. < locks the text before it, > locks the text after it.

◆ Locking positions: Pair angle brackets >…< to pin letters to exact slots and lock word length, e.g., >c?os?w?rd<

◆ Build patterns: Combine brackets and position locks to build precise, game-ready patterns.

◆ Example 1: ?[car] (sub-words on) must contain “car”; matches words up to 4 letters like “card” or “scar”.

◆ Example 2: hand<??? (sub-words on) must start with “hand”; matches words up to 7 letters.

◆ Example 3: b?[oo]>ing (exact mode) must end with “ing”; must be 7 letters, contain “oo” and “b”.

◆ Example 4: t<??>st<[ed] (exact mode) must start with “t”, have “st” at slots 4–5, and contain “ed”.
