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

Every score here is a plain sum of tile values, so SHIELDS leads at 11 points because it uses expensive letters. The board changes the arithmetic. A modest word on a double-word square often beats the top scorer on plain squares, and a high-value letter on a triple-letter square can be worth more than an entire extra word. Use the badges to shortlist plays, then look at what the board offers before you commit to a placement, and count the total both ways.

Questions

Is SHIELDS an anagram of another word?

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

What if my rack has a blank?
