About the Scrabble word finder

Enter the tiles on your rack and this finds every word you can play from them, ranked by what the tiles are worth. A ? stands for a blank, which can become any letter but scores nothing itself.

Each word shows its face value: the sum of its tile values. Longer is not always better — a short word on the right square often beats a long one on plain squares, which is why the list stays sorted by score rather than by length.

Examples

retinas
256 playable words, best being the seven-letter RETAINS and NASTIER
retina?
one blank opens up KERATIN, FAINTER, HAIRNET and hundreds more
zqxjkbn
an ugly rack — the tool still finds what is playable

Tips

Common questions

How do I enter a blank tile?

Type ? for each blank. Two is the maximum, matching a standard set.

Are these words valid in official play?

They come from ENABLE, which underpins many word games. Tournament play uses TWL or Collins, which differ at the edges — check your game's own dictionary for competition.

Why does a blank score zero?

That is the rule: a blank takes the identity of any letter but carries no point value, in both Scrabble and Words with Friends.
