The rack L I S T E N unscrambles to 90 words. Full-length anagrams come first, then each shorter length in turn, down to the two-letter words that are so useful for parallel plays. Each chip shows the classic tile score, and the quick facts pick out the top ten scorers. If you want to search a different set of letters, change them in the box at the top and press unscramble.

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

If you already know a few letters of the answer and their positions, the word finder is faster than reading this list. Enter a pattern with question marks for the unknown letters and only the fitting words appear. For a daily five-letter puzzle the five-letter finder does the same thing with cues for known, misplaced and excluded letters. Both tools share the dictionary used on this page, so the answers always agree with the lists you find here, whichever route you take.

Questions

Which of these words are the most common?

LISTEN, LINES and LETS 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.
