Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

crossword
crossword
Lays out a crossword from words with clues. Returns two matrices of the same size: puzzle (the game position: "-" is a blank cell, a word's number is on its first cell, "0" marks the other cells where a letter goes, and "a/d" such as "3/4" appears when an across word and a down word start in the same cell) and solution (the same matrix with the correct letters, one grapheme per cell). placements lists every word with its number, clue, direction (across/down) and start cell; unplaced lists words that did not fit. Offer more words than you need: the engine keeps the best layout it finds. Native letters (Ñ, Ç, ẞ…) stay one cell each. Free, no usage limit. The same seed gives the same crossword.
fill
fill_word_search
Completes a word search: takes the grid from generate_word_search (empty cells are "-") and fills them with random letters in the chosen language, with accents on or off. Letters follow how common they are in that language. Pass the puzzle's words so the filler never creates an extra copy of one.
generate
generate_word_search
Create a word-search puzzle (sopa de letras) from a list of words. Puzzles up to 10x10 with at most 10 words are free and unlimited; bigger ones use the free puzzles each client gets. Keeps native letters (Ñ, Ç, Ã, Ä, ẞ, È…) as one cell each. Returns the grid, where every word is hidden, and any words that did not fit. Empty cells are marked "-": call fill_word_search with the grid to complete it with random letters. The same seed always gives the same puzzle.
languages
list_languages
Languages Lettras supports, with the native letters each one adds to its grid alphabet.
solve
solve_sudoku
Solves a sudoku grid (0 = empty cell; sizes 4, 6, 9, 12, 16) and says whether the solution is the only one. Free, no usage limit.
styles
list_styles
The Unicode text styles stylize_text offers, with the id to pass, an English name and a category (bold-italic, sans, script, gothic, mono, enclosed, decoration, other).
stylize
stylize_text
Turns text into Unicode styles for social media bios and posts: bold, italic, script, fraktur, monospace, circled, squared, fullwidth, small caps, strikethrough, underline and more (22 styles). Accents are kept: an accented letter becomes its styled base letter plus the combining accent (ñ, ç, ü, ß work). Not every style can draw every character: letters such as ß, Æ, Œ, Ø or non-Latin scripts stay plain, and accented letters rely on a combining mark that some fonts draw badly. Those characters are listed in notNative for each style, and parts with missing: true mark them, so you can warn the user or show an empty box. Set classic to strip accents first. Pass one style id, several, or none for all styles (see list_styles). Runs locally and has no usage limit.
sudoku
sudoku
Creates a sudoku with exactly one solution. Returns puzzle (0 = empty cell) and solution. Sizes 4, 6, 9 (default), 12 and 16; difficulty 1 easy (most clues) to 4 expert. Free, no usage limit. The same seed gives the same sudoku.

Lettras word search — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Lettras word search do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: crossword, fill_word_search, generate_word_search, list_languages, list_styles, solve_sudoku and 2 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Lettras word search working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 525 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Lettras word search as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Lettras word search?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Lettras word search need an API key?
No. Lettras word search completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
Is Lettras word search open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Rust and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
