How the Scrabble word finder works

Type the letters on your rack and Wortfinder shows you straight away every word you can make from them, sorted by points. A question mark stands for a blank. If there are open letters on the board you could play through, add them too: each one is combined with your tiles on its own.

With Extend a word you type a word that is already on the board and see which letters fit in front of it or at the end. With Pattern search you type the letters from the board and a question mark for each empty square, for example ?A??E.

Word lists

Every word by letter and length, highest scores first: words with Q, with Z, with X, 2-letter words, 5-letter words and all word lists.

Strategy tips

Short articles for better moves, from your first word to your last tile.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find the highest-scoring word?

Type up to seven letters. The results appear right below, with the word worth the most points at the top. Play all seven tiles in one go and you get a 50-point bonus.

How do I enter a blank tile?

Type a question mark or a space, or tap “+ Blank”. A blank can stand for any letter and is worth 0 points.

Which word list does Wortfinder use?

This US version uses ENABLE, a free public-domain list close to the North American one, plus the two-letter words added since (such as QI, ZA and OK). It is not the NASPA Word List (NWL), the list used in tournaments, which is not freely available, so now and then a word may be missing or extra.

What is the difference between the UK and the US version?

The tiles and points are the same. The word lists differ: players in the UK and most other countries use Collins Scrabble Words, which also allows British spellings and many more short words, while North America uses the NASPA Word List. Pick the version you play with in the language menu at the top.

How many points is each letter worth?

In English Scrabble A, E, I, O, U, L, N, S, T and R are worth 1 point each, D and G 2, B, C, M and P 3, F, H, V, W and Y 4, K 5, J and X 8, and Q and Z 10 points.

Does Wortfinder cost anything?

No. Wortfinder is free and needs no sign-up. The search runs entirely in your browser, so your letters are never sent anywhere.
