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.
