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
A blank tile is the most powerful piece on your rack because it stands in for any letter. When you search this list with a blank, the tool underlines the letter the blank replaced so you know which tile to lay down. Spend a blank only when it unlocks a long word or a premium square; using it for a three-letter play is almost always a waste. If you hold two blanks, look for a word from this list that needs both, because a seven-tile play with the bonus outscores nearly everything else.
