What this site is for
Everyday Tools answers the small questions that come up at work, at school and at home. How many business days until a deadline? What words can I make from these letters? How do I write this amount on a check? Where exactly is this address on a map?
Each tool puts the input box first, so you can get your answer without scrolling, signing up or reading a wall of text. The explanations are there below the tool when you want them.
The tools
- Date calculator: days between dates, work days with U.S. federal holidays, adding and subtracting time, and ISO week numbers.
- Word unscrambler: anagrams and shorter words from up to 20 letters, with blank tiles and filters for word games.
- Numbers to words: numbers spelled out in U.S. English, including check amounts.
- Address to coordinates: latitude and longitude for U.S. street addresses, and the nearest address for a point.
How we keep answers right
- Tested rules. Each tool has automated tests for tricky cases such as leap days, month ends, observed holidays, repeated letters and very large numbers.
- Exact math. Date math uses whole calendar days, so time zones and daylight saving time never shift a count. Numbers are converted digit by digit, with no rounding.
- Open sources. Word lists, holiday rules and address data come from public sources, and each tool page names them.
- Plain limits. When a tool cannot do something, the page says so.
Where the data comes from
- U.S. federal holidays follow the rules published by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
- Words come from the Letterpress English word list (CC0), with common and offensive word filters based on Kevin Atkinson's ESDB and the LDNOOBW list (CC BY 4.0).
- Address lookups use the U.S. Census Bureau Geocoder. Coordinate lookups and maps use Photon by komoot and OpenStreetMap.
