How to use this page
Type your letters into the box at the top, including a question mark for any blank, and press search to filter this list to the words you can spell. Or read the list as it is: common words come first, scores are shown on each chip, and any word with a link has its own page of sub-words and anagrams.
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.
