From the six or seven tiles of PASTELS you can form 201 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 TAPES and PASS 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.

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

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.
