Tool to extend a word (at Scrabble or other letters game), to find words containing another word, to list extensible words (extension play), etc.
A word is said to be extensible if it is possible to add / join one or more letters to the beginning or to the end of the word in order to create a new one, present in the chosen dictionary.
Example: CODE can be extended with R at the end to become CODER
Example: CODER can be extended with DE at the beginning to become DECODER
Word Extension is a technique used at Scrabble, it is even the main technique in its Wordox variant.
A prefix is a letter or group of letters that can be affixed to the beginning of a word.
Example: CODE + prefix DE gives DECODE
A suffix is a letter or group of letters that can be affixed to the end of a word.
Example: CODE + suffix R gives CODER
A stop word (non-extensible) is a word that can not be extended either by a prefix or a suffix
