How to use this list
Results are ordered by strategic score rather than alphabetically, so the plays most worth making appear first. Each card shows the tile score, the word length and why the word ranks where it does. Save a word to revisit it later, or open a solver to filter against the exact letters on your rack.
Word validity depends on the lexicon your game uses. These lists rank against the WordPilot Master Lexicon and show a verified definition wherever our licensed dictionary data covers the word, so you can judge a play before you make it.
