Type SETBACK into a word game and you have 116 options. The list below shows all of them, sorted by length and then by score, with the very common words marked by a dot. BACKSET scores 15 points, the most of any word on the page. The search box keeps the same letters, so you can add a blank with a question mark or swap a tile to see how the possibilities change.
How to use this page
Start at the top for the longest and highest-scoring words, work down for shorter plays, and use the search box to test variations with a blank or a different letter.
Tips
If your real rack has a blank, add a question mark to the letters in the search box and the tool will show which words the blank unlocks, with the substituted letter underlined. A blank is worth far more than any single tile, so aim it at a long word or a premium square rather than a quick two-letter play. When two words need the blank for different letters, prefer the one where the blank replaces a low-value letter, since the blank itself scores nothing.
