Unscrambling FAINTED gives 112 words from the letters F A I N T E D. 1 of them use every letter, and the rest are shorter words made from a subset of the tiles. The list below is grouped by length, with the full-length anagrams first, then the seven-letter words and below, each with its classic tile score. Change the letters in the box above to solve a different rack.

How to use this page

Scan the longest group for the best plays, then the shorter groups for words that fit tight spots. Every chip shows a classic tile score; the quick facts pick out the top ten.

Tips

Every score here is a plain sum of tile values, so DEFIANT leads at 11 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.
