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 blank tile is the most powerful piece on your rack because it stands in for any letter. When you search this list with a blank, the tool underlines the letter the blank replaced so you know which tile to lay down. Spend a blank only when it unlocks a long word or a premium square; using it for a three-letter play is almost always a waste. If you hold two blanks, look for a word from this list that needs both, because a seven-tile play with the bonus outscores nearly everything else.
