How to use this page
Use this list in two ways. Browse it to learn the words that contain both C and G, common ones first, or search it by typing your own letters, with question marks for blanks, to see only the words you can make. Every word shows its classic tile score, and linked words open a page with all their sub-words.
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.
