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.

Questions

What is the highest-scoring word among the five-letter words starting with S and ending in H?

SIXTH scores 15 points with classic tile values, ignoring board multipliers. The full top ten is in the quick facts above; switch the tile set on the search tool if you play with different letter values.

Why are some of these words unfamiliar?

12 of the 31 words on this page are tagged rare, meaning they fall outside the usual spell-check vocabulary. They are still real words, and many are legal plays, but you should expect a challenge if someone asks you to define them.
