Enter your Scrabble rack above to find every valid word you can make. Each result shows two scores — the indigo S badge is the Scrabble tile value and the green W badge is the Words With Friends value. Sort by Scrabble points to put your highest-scoring play first, or filter by length to hunt for the two- and three-letter words that set up parallel plays and hooks.
How the Scrabble Word Finder Works
Type the letters on your rack — order does not matter — and press Unscramble It. The finder checks every combination of your tiles against the ENABLE open word list and returns each valid word grouped by length, longest first. Open Options to switch the word-list filter (All Words, Scrabble, or Words With Friends), restrict results to a length, or require a starting letter, ending letter, or contained sequence. Use ? or * for blank tiles. Everything runs in your browser, so results are instant and your rack never leaves your device.
Reading the Score Badges
Because Scrabble and Words With Friends assign different values to the same letters, each word shows both. Q, Z, J and X are the premium tiles in both games, but their exact worth differs — which is why a word's two badges rarely match. The badges show the word's own tile value and do not add board premiums like double-word or triple-letter squares, so think of them as a fast way to rank plays, not a final board score. Sort the list by Scrabble points or WWF points to bring your biggest scoring option to the top instantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Scrabble Word Finder score words?
Every word in the results carries two point badges. The indigo S badge is its Scrabble score using the standard tile values (Q and Z are 10, J and X are 8, K is 5, and so on), and the green W badge is the Words With Friends score, since the two games value letters differently. The totals shown are the bare tile values of the word itself — they do not include board premiums like double-letter or triple-word squares, which depend on where you place the word. Use the score badges to compare plays quickly, then sort the whole list by Scrabble points to surface your highest-value option first.
What word list does this finder validate against?
It validates against ENABLE, a free, openly-licensed English word list of ~172,800 words widely used by open-source word games. ENABLE is not the official NASPA (TWL) or Collins (CSW) tournament list — those are copyrighted. The Scrabble and Words With Friends point values shown are standard tile values for each game.
How do I use the blank tiles (? and *)?
Type a question mark or an asterisk anywhere in your letters to represent a blank tile — a tile with no printed letter that can stand in for any letter of the alphabet. You can use up to two blanks in a single search, exactly as a real Scrabble rack allows. The finder treats each blank as every possible letter at once and returns every word those substitutions can form. Remember that in scoring a blank is worth zero points, so a high word score that depends on a blank may be lower in practice than the badge suggests — the badge counts the printed letters as if they were full tiles.
Why does this matter for two-letter and hook words?
Expert Scrabble is built on small words. Short two- and three-letter words let you play parallel to an existing word, forming several scoring words in a single turn, and hook words let you score in two directions at once. Enter your rack here, then use the length filter in Options to isolate the twos and threes you can make right now. Sorting by Scrabble points then shows whether dropping a Q, Z or X onto a premium square with a short word beats a longer, lower-value play.
Is the Scrabble Word Finder free and private?
Yes. There is no account, no sign-up, no payment, and no daily limit. There are no ads covering the results and nothing about your searches is collected or stored. The entire dictionary and all of the scoring and filtering logic are bundled with the page and run in your browser using JavaScript, so the letters you enter never leave your device or get sent to a server. That also means the finder keeps working instantly with no network round-trip — results appear the moment you press Enter, even on a slow connection.
Is using a word finder allowed in Scrabble?
It depends on the setting. In casual or solo play, a word finder is a great way to learn the dictionary, discover bingos you would have missed, and build vocabulary — many strong players study with tools like this. In rated club or tournament play, consulting any outside aid during a game is against the rules, so use the finder to practice and review between games rather than mid-match. Treat it as a coach: enter past racks to see the best plays you could have made, and over time you will start spotting those words on your own.
