Scrabble Word Finder

Every word your rack can make, grouped by length and sorted by what it scores.

The dictionary (570 KB) downloads the first time you type, then works offline. Your rack is never uploaded.

SCRABBLE® is a registered trademark of Hasbro, Inc. in the United States and Canada, and of Mattel, Inc. elsewhere. Txtset is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by either company. Scores here are tile values only — premium board squares are not counted.

Dictionary: the public-domain ENABLE word list (172,823 words), compiled by Alan Beale and M. Cooper. Source and licence. This is not the TWL or Collins tournament list.

🔒 Runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded or stored on a server.

Type your rack and get every word the dictionary says you can build from it, grouped by length with the longest first and, inside each group, sorted by tile score — because a seven-letter word is not automatically the better play.

Also on Txtset: use every letter instead of a subset · search by pattern when you know some letters.

Blank tiles work properly. Type ? for each blank, up to two. A blank scores zero, and the results say which letter each one stood in for, because a score that quietly counted the blank as a real tile would be wrong in exactly the situation you are using this to decide. Three blanks is refused: it makes almost every word playable, which is not an answer, and no standard set puts three in one rack.

There is also a board letter field for the tile already on the board that you want to play through. Give it a letter and every result is guaranteed to contain it, with that letter treated as free rather than coming out of your rack. Contains, starts-with and ends-with filters narrow things further.

Three things this page will not pretend about. Scores are tile values only — double-word and triple-letter squares depend on a board this page cannot see, and a half-implemented board score is worse than none. The dictionary is ENABLE, public domain, not the TWL or Collins tournament list, so a word can be valid here and rejected in tournament play. And SCRABBLE is somebody else's trademark; the notice is at the bottom of the tool, not buried.

How to use

  1. Type your letters. Use ? for each blank tile.
  2. Optionally add a board letter the word must play through.
  3. Narrow with contains / starts with / ends with, or raise the minimum length.
  4. Read the results: longest first, highest-scoring first inside each length.
  5. Copy or download the list.

Examples

A full rack
retinas finds hundreds of words including the seven-letter nastier, retains, retinas, retsina, stainer and stearin.
With a blank
retinas? opens up eight-letter plays; each result shows ?= the letter the blank became, and that letter scores nothing.
Playing through the board
Rack aeiltr with board letter s returns only words containing an s, and the s costs you no tile.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the official Scrabble dictionary?
No, and no free tool can honestly claim to be. The tournament lists — TWL/OWL in North America and Collins/CSW elsewhere — are copyrighted compilations. This page uses ENABLE, a 172,823-word public-domain list long used by open word-game tools. Most common words agree; edge cases may not, in either direction. Source and licence.
Do the scores include double and triple squares?
No. Scores are the sum of the tile values only. Premium squares depend on where you place the word on a board this page cannot see, so counting them would be a guess dressed up as a number. Add the board multipliers yourself.
How are blanks scored?
A blank is worth zero, which is exactly why the results show which letter it stood in for — ?=e next to a word means the e in it earns nothing. That often changes which play is actually best.
Why only two blanks?
A standard set has two. Allowing three makes nearly every word in the dictionary “playable”, which is a wall of results rather than an answer.
What are the letter values?
The standard English set: 1 point for A, E, I, L, N, O, R, S, T and U; 2 for D and G; 3 for B, C, M and P; 4 for F, H, V, W and Y; 5 for K; 8 for J and X; 10 for Q and Z.
Is my rack sent anywhere?
No. The dictionary downloads once, then every search runs in this tab. Your letters never leave your device.
Does it work for Words With Friends or Wordfeud?
The word search does — they all draw from broadly similar English dictionaries. The scores will not match, because those games use their own tile values. Treat the score column as Scrabble-style guidance.
