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 470 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: 13 points.

The C: Needs a partner. C rarely stands alone in short words; pair it with an H or a vowel and it opens up quickly.
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.
