Here is everything you can make from the letters of CATNAPS: 73 words in total, including 2 full-length anagrams. The longest words are worth the most in tile games, so they are listed first; the short words at the end are the ones that fit tight spots on the board. Words with their own page link through to their own list of sub-words, which makes it easy to explore related racks.

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.

Questions

Which of these words are the most common?

ACTS, PAST and SCAN 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.
