From the six or seven tiles of ANIMAL you can form 53 words. This page is the complete answer, computed against our full dictionary rather than a hand-picked selection: every exact anagram, every shorter word, and the score for each. Words such as ANIMAL and MAIL are the familiar ones; further down are rarer entries that are still valid in most games. Definitions for the most useful words follow the list.
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
If your real rack has a blank, add a question mark to the letters in the search box and the tool will show which words the blank unlocks, with the substituted letter underlined. A blank is worth far more than any single tile, so aim it at a long word or a premium square rather than a quick two-letter play. When two words need the blank for different letters, prefer the one where the blank replaces a low-value letter, since the blank itself scores nothing.
