All 2 of these use every one of your 6 tiles — the complete rearrangement most puzzles are asking for.

Unlike the list above, these depend on the order you typed: each one is sitting in the spelling already, left to right, with nothing rearranged.

Add a single blank and the same rack reaches 798 more words, up to 7 letters. Here are the longest of them.

2 vowels and 4 consonants — a balanced rack, which is where the longest words usually come from.

Face value of the full rack: 11 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 Y: Doubles as a vowel. If your tiles are vowel-starved, Y is often the letter that rescues the rack.
