From the six or seven tiles of SCANNER you can form 94 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 CARES and CARE 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

The full-length anagrams are listed first, then every shorter word grouped by length. Use the box at the top to change the letters or add a blank with a question mark, and the tool recomputes the list.

Tips

Many of the words on this page differ from each other by a single letter at the front or back. Those hooks are the cheapest plays in the game: you lay down one tile, extend an existing word, and score both the new word and anything you formed in parallel. Look at the shorter words in this list and ask which one-letter additions turn them into the longer ones. S, D, E and R at the end and A, S and B at the front do most of the work.
