Unscramble AERATES: 102 words from the letters A E R A T E S

The rack A E R A T E S unscrambles to 102 words. Full-length anagrams come first, then each shorter length in turn, down to the two-letter words that are so useful for parallel plays. Each chip shows the classic tile score, and the quick facts pick out the top ten scorers. If you want to search a different set of letters, change them in the box at the top and press unscramble.

How to use this page

The full-length anagrams are listed first, then every shorter word grouped by length. Use the box at the top to change the letters or add a blank with a question mark, and the tool recomputes the list.

Tips

Every score here is a plain sum of tile values, so AERATES leads at 7 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.
