TAPES is a five-letter word, and its letters hide 61 others. This page lists them all, grouped by length so you can see at a glance whether a long play is available or whether a shorter word is the best you can do. Scores use classic tile values. If your actual rack is slightly different, edit the letters in the search box and the tool will recompute the list on the spot.

How to use this page

The list is exhaustive for these letters. If your rack differs by one tile, edit the letters in the box above rather than scanning for near matches.

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.
