From the six or seven tiles of CATERS you can form 116 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.

The list is exhaustive for these letters. If your rack differs by one tile, edit the letters in the box above rather than scanning for near matches.

Tips

When two plays from this list score about the same, choose the common word. It will not be challenged, you will remember it, and you can defend it if asked. The rarer words at the bottom of each group are valuable in specific situations: reaching a triple-word square, unloading a Q or Z, or blocking a lane your opponent needs. Keep them in reserve and lean on the common words for everyday play, especially when you are ahead and have no need to take risks.

Questions

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.
