The act of following someone secretly.

From the six or seven tiles of TAILING you can form 70 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 GAIN and LAIN 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

Read the anagrams first, then the shorter words in descending length. Common words come first within each group, and the definitions section explains the most useful ones.

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.
