Unscramble GRATES: 115 words from the letters G R A T E S

From the six or seven tiles of GRATES you can form 115 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 GREAT and STAGE 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

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.
