From an anagram generator to a complete word game toolkit

Started building LexiLab because I kept running into word-game tools online that were slow, cluttered, or did just one thing. Wanted something fast and clean instead.

It began as a single anagram generator. Since then it's grown into six tools: a Wordle solver that ranks guesses by expected information gain, a Scrabble word finder supporting both NWL23 and Collins CSW21 dictionaries, a crossword pattern solver, a WordNet-powered synonym finder, and a rhyme finder built on the CMU pronouncing dictionary.

It's a static, multi-page site, vanilla JS, no framework, no bundler. Every page is a real HTML file that loads fast and is fully crawlable. That's been the core bet from day one: speed and mobile-friendliness over flashy features.

Currently working on a few new ideas for blog posts and tools. Happy to answer questions about the dictionary or data side of things, that's been the most interesting part to build.
