Can anyone think of a tool with which I can pass it many optional parameters such as the length of the word I'm looking for, and a few letters in that word and have it spit out a list of words?

If you understand regexs, you can use this.
For example, '^mo.s.$' yields:
- moist
- moose
- mosso
- mossy
- mouse
- mousy

I'm trying to find 7 letter words using [abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]{7} but it's coming up with all lengths of words. It works fine on a text file but not the website. Any tips? Commented Dec 22, 2018 at 3:30

1@CreativiTimothy -- not all lengths, all lengths greater than or equal to 7. You need to match the beginning and end, like this ^[abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]{7}$ Commented Dec 22, 2018 at 9:19
I think you're looking for More Words.
Here are some basic word search options:
Use a hyphen (dash) to give the location of a missing letter: w-rd or -are
Use an asterisk (star) for any number of unknown letters: lett* or *gry or ar*ct
Exclude words containing the letters that follow a caret (hat): ma-e ^kt
Or enter a few letters (without hyphens or asterisks) to see if they make any words.
