One word uses every one of your 5 tiles — the complete rearrangement most puzzles are asking for.

Longest first, alphabetical within each length. The small number is the word's tile score. Tap any word to unscramble it in turn.

Add a single blank and the same rack reaches 317 more words, up to 5 letters. Here are the longest of them.

2 vowels and 3 consonants — a balanced rack, which is where the longest words usually come from.

Face value of the full rack: 14 points.

The E: The most common letter in English and the most common in valid words. An E-heavy rack almost always spells something.
The V: The awkward one — there is no valid two-letter word containing V, so it always needs at least two other tiles.
The Y: Doubles as a vowel. If your tiles are vowel-starved, Y is often the letter that rescues the rack.

Drop a tile and solve the rest. Each link runs the same search on the remaining letters.
