All 2 of these use 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 333 more words, up to 6 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: 7 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 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 S: The most valuable tile for building long words — it pluralises almost anything, so it is usually worth saving for last.
