The rest are technical terms, plurals, variant spellings and the odd loanword, all of which are legal in most tile games. The highest-scoring entry is MICROEARTHQUAKE at 35 points. Scan the common words first, then dip into the rare ones when the board leaves you no other option.

How to use this page

Use this list in two ways. Browse it to learn the words that contain the letter K, common ones first, or search it by typing your own letters, with question marks for blanks, to see only the words you can make. Every word shows its classic tile score, and linked words open a page with all their sub-words.

Tips

Every score badge on this page is the sum of the tile values in the word, with no board multipliers applied. Classic tiles value the common letters at one point and the awkward letters higher, up to ten for Q and Z. Blank tiles score nothing. The actual points you earn depend on where the word lands, so a modest word on a double-word square beats a high-value word on plain squares. Use the badges to compare words quickly, then check the board for the multiplier that changes the picture.
