Unscrambling NEARLY gives 63 words from the letters N E A R L Y. 0 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 six-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

The mix of vowels and consonants in NEARLY 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.

Questions

Is NEARLY an anagram of another word?

No. NEARLY has no full-length anagram in our dictionary, so every other word on this page is shorter.

What if my rack has a blank?

Add a question mark to the letters in the search box. The tool treats it as any letter and underlines the letter each blank stands in for. You can add up to three blanks.
