One word uses 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 319 more words, up to 5 letters. Here are the longest of them.

Only 1 vowel against 4 consonants — a consonant-heavy rack, where the long words are hard to reach.

Face value of the full rack: 12 points.

The K: Comfortable at either end. KI and KA are valid two-letter words, which makes stray Ks easier to dump than they look.
The S: The most valuable tile for building long words — it pluralises almost anything, so it is usually worth saving for last.
The W: Works best at the front of short words: WE, WO, AW, OW.

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