ACUTEST scores 9 points, the most of any word on the page. The search box keeps the same letters, so you can add a blank with a question mark or swap a tile to see how the possibilities change.

Each group is a complete list for that length. Copy a whole group with one click, or click a word to copy it alone or open its own page.

Tips

Every score here is a plain sum of tile values, so ACUTEST leads at 9 points because it uses expensive letters. The board changes the arithmetic. A modest word on a double-word square often beats the top scorer on plain squares, and a high-value letter on a triple-letter square can be worth more than an entire extra word. Use the badges to shortlist plays, then look at what the board offers before you commit to a placement, and count the total both ways.

Questions

Which of these words are the most common?

CAUSE, ACTS and CASE are among the most familiar. Words in everyday use are sorted first within each length group and the very common ones carry a small dot.

Are all of these words valid in word games?

They are all in the ENABLE list, which most word-game helpers use, but each game has its own dictionary. Check any unfamiliar word against the rules of the game you are playing.
