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.

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 621 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: 8 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 W: Works best at the front of short words: WE, WO, AW, OW.
