Codeword Solver
Use repeated numbers when both patterns depend on the same letter logic. This is what makes pair matching useful.
How linked patterns become easier with shared clue numbers
The multi pattern solver checks two patterns together. It only returns word pairs where shared clue numbers stay consistent across both answers. This removes weak matches and gives a cleaner result list.
A word like catacomb works because clue 1 maps to c, clue 2 maps to a, clue 3 maps to t, clue 4 maps to b and clue 5 maps to m.
A word like metabolism works because clue 5 maps to m, clue 3 maps to t, clue 2 maps to a, clue 4 maps to b, and clue 1 maps to c.
The pair is valid only when repeated clue numbers agree across both words, not just inside one pattern.
Strict unique mapping stops one letter from secretly belonging to two different clue numbers in the same pair.
Why solving two patterns together helps
A single clue may produce many possible answers. When you solve two connected clues at the same time, the shared number logic removes many of those possibilities. That is why the multi solver often feels much sharper than solving each clue on its own.
What the results show
Each result shows Pattern 1, Pattern 2, the possible word pair, and the shared mapping. That mapping makes it easy to see which clue numbers resolved to which letters across the pair.
When to use strict unique mapping
Keep strict unique mapping enabled when you want proper codeword style logic. It is the safer default because it removes pairs where the same letter would create conflicting clue numbers.
Tips for better pair matching
- Use shared clue numbers in both patterns whenever possible.
- Add fixed letters if you know even one or two positions.
- Start with the Big Dictionary for wider coverage.
- Use the Original or Pocket Dictionary when you want a smaller and faster result set.
When to use the multi solver
Use the multi solver when two clues clearly depend on the same repeated number logic. If you only need to test one clue on its own, the single pattern solver is the better fit.
