How to use this page
Read the list from the top if you want the everyday words, or jump to the quick facts for the highest scorers. Click any word with a link to see every shorter word hidden inside it. When you have a specific rack, the search box at the top filters the list down to the words you can play right now.
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.
Questions
