You’re staring at your rack with seven tiles, and the board is wide open. You need candidate words that can be made from those letters, but your brain is stuck on the same three-letter combos. This tool is for that exact moment: enter your rack, optionally mark blank tiles with ?, and narrow the list with length, pattern, contains, starts with, ends with, or exclude filters. No sign-up, no fluff.
When you need more than a dictionary
A standard dictionary tells you if a word exists. This finder helps you reduce a rack of letters into words worth checking. It’s built for the middle of a game, not for studying word lists. Type in your rack, hit Solve, and use the filters when you need a specific length or board pattern.
How blank tiles change your strategy
Blank tiles are wildcards, but they also cost you points because they score zero in the game. Enter ? for each blank tile so the search can consider unknown letters. If you have two blanks, enter ??. After you find a candidate, check the actual tile placement and score in your game before playing it.
Filtering by length and board pattern
Sometimes you need a specific length to fit a tight spot on the board. Use the length field for exact word size, and use the pattern field when known board letters are already fixed. If you need exactly a 5-letter word with A in the third position, a pattern like ??a?? cuts the list down quickly.
Checking word validity before you play
Not every word in a general dictionary is allowed in Scrabble, and different apps or clubs may use different accepted lists. This site is an independent helper and does not claim to be an official Scrabble dictionary. Use results as candidates, then confirm important plays against the word list or rules your game uses.
Copying results without losing context
Once you find useful candidates, use Copy all to move the list into notes, chat, or a spreadsheet. This is useful if you want to compare possible plays without rerunning the same search.
Scrabble rack example
Enter train?e as your rack, set starts with or ends with only when the board already forces a hook, and compare the longest results before checking score. A word that appears here still needs to be legal in the dictionary your game uses.
Before you score the play
Before you score a play, check two things the solver cannot know for sure: the dictionary your game accepts and the board position you plan to use. Blank tiles, hooks, and premium squares can change the best choice.
