We sort common words to the top because they are the ones you are most likely to be looking for, whether you are solving a puzzle or checking a play. Words such as NIGHT and NAIVE lead the way.

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
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.
