Word Domination helps you become a crossword puzzle monster

Quick, I need an eight-letter word that starts with B, and letter six is R! Any ideas?

If questions like this make you draw a blank, Word Domination can come in very handy the next time you're struggling with those last few words of a crossword puzzle. It gave me 97 different results for this particular query, including "bescorch" and "bevatron."

I wasn't really sure what a bevatron was, so I clicked the word. Word Domination then transported me to the bevatron word page, where I discovered that it's a historic particle accelerator. Now I feel a bit less ignorant, because it's more of a proper noun that "just a word." But I guess that, somewhere in the world, a sadistic crossword puzzle author might call for "historic particle accelerator, eight letters, horizontal."

Word Domination comes up with more ordinary words, too. The list is sorted alphabetically – not by frequency. The whole site feels very clean, modern, and fun to use. There's a "simple mode," too, which supports the asterisk wildcard (like b*tron) and doesn't make you specify the number of letters that the results should contain.

Their "About Us" page is empty, so I can't tell you who's behind the site, but as long as it works, it works!
