One word uses every one of your 6 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.

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 868 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 S: The most valuable tile for building long words — it pluralises almost anything, so it is usually worth saving for last.

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