How to use this page
Start by scanning the common words at the top; they are the ones most likely to be accepted and remembered. Then check the quick facts for the highest-scoring options. If you have a rack in front of you, the search box applies this page's constraint to your letters and returns only what you can play.
Tips
Hooks are single letters added to the front or back of an existing word to make a new one, and they are the cheapest way to score in a crowded game. Look through the words on this page for ones that become a different valid word with one more letter, or that can be formed by extending a shorter word already on the board. Suffixes such as S, ED, ER and ING, and prefixes such as RE and UN, do most of the work. A hook lets you play a second word in parallel and collect both scores.
