find your best play — ranked by Words With Friends score
0/15
This Words With Friends helper finds every word you can play — type your tiles above to see them. Each result carries a green W badge (its Words With Friends score) and an indigo S badge (its Scrabble score), since the two games value letters differently. Sort by WWF points to surface your highest-scoring option, then check it against the triple-word and triple-letter squares near your tiles before you commit.
Words With Friends Board Solver
The finder above ranks words by their tile value. To find your best play — the highest-scoring word and where to place it — enter your rack below, then open the board and drop in the tiles already down. The solver accounts for triple-word, double-word, triple-letter, and double-letter squares and every cross-word your play forms.
How the Words With Friends Cheat Works
Enter the letters on your rack — order is irrelevant — and press Unscramble It. The finder tests every combination of your tiles and lists each playable word grouped by length, longest first. The dictionary defaults to Words With Friends; open Options to change it, limit results to a length, or require a starting letter, ending letter, or contained sequence. Use ? or * for blank tiles. Everything runs locally in your browser, so results are instant and private — your rack is never uploaded.
WWF Scoring vs Scrabble Scoring
Words With Friends and Scrabble share a board concept but assign different point values to letters, so the same word usually earns a different total in each. That is exactly why every result shows both badges — the green WWF value you care about now, and the indigo Scrabble value for reference if you also play the classic game. The badges reflect the word's own tile value and do not include the board's premium squares, which is where the biggest WWF swings happen. Sort by WWF points to rank your plays, then let the open triple squares decide the final placement.
Words With Friends is won on the board, not just the rack. The 15×15 grid — some players search for an "11x11 board," but the real Words With Friends board is 15 squares by 15 — is dotted with triple-word (TW), double-word (DW), triple-letter (TL), and double-letter (DL) squares, plus the center start. A medium word that lands a J, Q, X, or Z on a triple-letter square, or reaches a triple-word square, routinely beats a longer word on plain tiles. The board solver above reads your rack and the tiles already down, then ranks every legal play by its true score — main word, all cross-words, premium squares, and the 35-point bonus for using all seven tiles.
Cheat Codes, Cheat Dictionaries, and Playing Fair
Unlike a video game, Words With Friends has no secret cheat codes to punch in — the only real edge is knowing which words your tiles can make and what each one scores. That is exactly what this tool is: a fast cheat dictionary that tests every arrangement of your rack against the full word list and hands back the valid plays, ranked by points. If you have been searching for "cheat codes for words with friends," this is the honest version of that — no hacks or exploits, just the complete dictionary quietly working out your strongest move in a fraction of a second.
Using a word finder to study is a normal part of getting better, and most players treat it as a cheat dictionary for casual games and post-game review rather than a way to win at any cost. It earns its keep when you are stuck on an awkward rack, want to confirm a word is actually valid before you risk a turn, or are learning the high-value letters and short words that separate strong players from beginners. Keep it to friendly matches — leaning on outside help during a rated or tournament game breaks the rules — and let what you learn train you to spot these plays on your own.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Words With Friends scorer work?
Each word in the results shows a green W badge — its Words With Friends score — alongside an indigo S badge for the Scrabble value, because the two games price letters differently. In WWF, for example, H and Y are worth more and U is worth more than in Scrabble, so the same word often scores higher here. The badge is the word's own tile value only; it does not include board multipliers like double-word or triple-letter squares, which depend entirely on where you drop the tiles. Use the badges to rank candidates fast, then sort the list by WWF points to put your highest-value play right at the top before you decide where to place it.
Which dictionary does Words With Friends use?
Words With Friends uses its own proprietary word list, which overlaps heavily with common word lists but is not identical — it includes some slang and modern words that other games reject, and excludes a few they allow. This finder validates against the ENABLE open word list (a free, openly-licensed ~172,800-word lexicon widely used by word games), rather than an exact WWF list. In practice the vast majority of common plays are covered, but if WWF rejects a rare word the finder suggested, that is the small word-list gap at work — try the next option down the list, which is usually accepted everywhere.
How do I use blank tiles in the finder?
Type a question mark or asterisk among your letters to stand for a blank tile, which can become any letter. Words With Friends gives you two blanks in the bag just like Scrabble, so the finder accepts up to two wildcards per search and returns every word your real tiles plus those substitutions can form. Keep in mind that a blank scores zero, so a tempting high-value word that leans on a blank will play for less than its badge implies — the badge counts every printed letter at full value. When you have a blank, it is often worth saving it for a bonus-scoring word rather than spending it on a small play.
How do I find the highest-scoring WWF play?
Enter your full rack and sort the results by WWF points. The finder lists every word you can make with its score, so the biggest number floats to the top. But the raw word score is only half the decision: Words With Friends boards have triple-word and triple-letter squares that can dwarf a longer word, so cross-reference the finder's top words against the open premium squares near your tiles. A medium word that lands a J, X, Q or Z on a triple-letter square frequently beats a longer word played on plain squares.
What is a bingo and how do I find one?
Using all seven of your tiles in one turn earns a 35-point bonus in Words With Friends (Scrabble's bonus is 50). To hunt for one, enter all seven rack letters and set the length filter in Options to 7, and the finder shows every seven-letter word your rack can make. If none appear, look for six-letter plays that leave you a strong single tile — an S, a blank, or a common consonant — so your next draw is more likely to complete a bingo. Studying which letter groups rearrange into many words is the fastest way to start spotting these on your own.
Is the Words With Friends cheat free and private?
Yes — no account, no sign-up, no payment, and no limits. Nothing about your searches is collected, and there are no ads sitting on top of the results. The whole dictionary and all scoring and filtering run locally in your browser with JavaScript, so your rack never gets sent to a server and results appear instantly. Think of it as a study and practice aid: it is perfect for casual games and for learning the dictionary, but consulting any outside help during a rated or tournament match breaks the rules, so save it for friendly games and post-game review.
Is the Words With Friends board 11x11 or 15x15?
The Words With Friends board is 15 squares by 15 — the same grid size as Scrabble — not 11x11. The confusion is common because the premium squares sit in a different, more central pattern than Scrabble's, which makes the playable area feel tighter. Our board solver uses the full 15x15 layout with the real triple-word, double-word, triple-letter, and double-letter positions, so the scores it reports match what the game awards.
How does the board solver find my best play?
Enter the letters on your rack, then open the board and tap in the tiles already on it. The solver tests every legal placement of your rack against the dictionary, scores each one using the exact bonus squares it covers and every cross-word it forms, adds the 35-point bonus when a play uses all seven tiles, and ranks the results highest score first. Tap any result to see exactly where it goes on the board.
