This tool finds every word that can be made from a set of letter tiles and scores each one with the standard English Scrabble tile values, highest first. It searches the 77,636 single-word entries in AltF Lexicon, returns up to 300 plays, and scores a letter covered by a blank at zero. Scores are face values with no board multipliers.
Type at least two tiles. Every playable word appears here, worth the most first.
These are the values printed on an English-language Scrabble set — the standard English distribution, derived by Alfred Butts in 1938 from letter counts on the front page of the New York Times. Every score on this page is computed from this table and nothing else.
Every word in the index is stored under its letters, sorted — so PRAISED and DESPAIR both live under adeiprs. Your rack is sorted the same way, and the solver keeps every signature your tiles can cover, counting repeats: two Ps are needed for a word with two Ps. Each blank raises the number of letters a word may be missing by one.
Then each surviving word is scored from the table above and the list is ordered by value. That ordering is the reason this tool exists separately from the word unscrambler, which reads the same index and orders by length. From AEINRST the unscrambler leads with RETSINA at seven letters; the same seven tiles are worth seven points, which a two-letter play using a Z or a Q would beat outright.
When a blank covers a letter, that letter’s value is subtracted before the word is ranked, and the tool says which letter the blank stood in for. Ranking a blank-assisted play at its full face value would put words at the top of the list that cannot actually be scored that way.
It solves the rack, not the position. Premium squares, the letters already on the board, the hooks you could play through and the tiles you would keep back are all invisible to it, and any of them can change which play is right. A 24-point word on a plain row loses to a 12-point word on a double-word square.
It also searches a general dictionary rather than a tournament word list. Treat an answer as a word that exists, then check it against whichever list your game is using. Scrabble is a trademark of Hasbro in North America and Mattel elsewhere; neither company is connected to this tool, and the tile values reproduced here are facts about the game rather than anything licensed from them.
The word list comes from Princeton University’s WordNet, with commonness bands derived from a frequency corpus of everyday English. Tile values are the standard English Scrabble distribution. Definitions and pronunciations on the linked entry pages come from WordNet and the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary. Full sources and licences.
