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

A balanced rack has roughly three vowels and four consonants, and a lopsided rack is the most common reason players get stuck. If you are drowning in vowels, look for the words on this page with the most vowels and use them to reset. If you have too many consonants, a word with a single vowel will do the same job. When you cannot find a decent play, it is often better to swap tiles or play a short word that dumps the surplus than to force a poor score and keep the bad rack.
