Definitions

latency (noun)
(computer science) the time it takes for a specific block of data on a data track to rotate around to the read/write head.

The letters L A T E N C Y can be rearranged into 94 different words. The exact anagrams come first, followed by every shorter word you can build from the same tiles, from the longest down to the two-letter plays. Common words such as CLEAN, ANY and CENT appear near the top of each group. The highest-scoring option is LATENCY at 12 points before any board multiplier.

How to use this page

Read the anagrams first, then the shorter words in descending length. Common words come first within each group, and the definitions section explains the most useful ones.

Tips

Every score here is a plain sum of tile values, so LATENCY leads at 12 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.

Questions
