From the six or seven tiles of DEFILES you can form 106 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 FIELDS and FEEDS 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.

Tips

The mix of vowels and consonants in DEFILES is what makes it a productive rack. When your own rack has too many vowels or too many consonants, the list of possible words collapses. A good habit is to play the word that leaves the best leftover tiles, not necessarily the highest score this turn. Keeping one or two vowels, an S, and a blank on the rack sets up a stronger play next time, and over a whole game that adds up to more than any single big word.
