How do I use blank tiles in the Scrabble helper?

Type a question mark (?) for each blank tile. Blank tiles can represent any letter but score 0 points. For example, if your rack is AEILNST plus two blanks, enter "aeilnst??" to find all words including those that require up to two letters not on your rack.

What are the Scrabble tile point values?

Scrabble tile values: A=1, B=3, C=3, D=2, E=1, F=4, G=2, H=4, I=1, J=8, K=5, L=1, M=3, N=1, O=1, P=3, Q=10, R=1, S=1, T=1, U=1, V=4, W=4, X=8, Y=4, Z=10. Blank tiles are worth 0 points.

Can I use this for Words With Friends?

Yes. While the point values shown use standard Scrabble scoring, the word list covers words valid in both Scrabble and Words With Friends. The word finding function works identically for both games — simply enter your tiles to see all valid words.

How to Use the Scrabble Word Finder

Step 1 — Enter your rack letters. Type all the letters from your Scrabble tile rack into the input field. The order does not matter. As you type, visual tiles appear below the input showing each letter with its point value.

Step 2 — Add blank tiles. If you have blank tiles on your rack, type a question mark (?) for each one. Blank tiles can represent any letter but contribute 0 points to the word score.

Step 3 — Click Find Words. The helper scans our entire dictionary and returns every valid word you can make from your tiles. Results are sorted by Scrabble score from highest to lowest.

Scrabble Scoring Guide

Understanding tile values is essential for maximizing your Scrabble score. Each letter has a fixed point value that contributes to your word score before any board multipliers are applied.

Points	Letters	Strategy Note
1 point	A, E, I, L, N, O, R, S, T, U	Most common letters
2 points	D, G	Useful for common endings
3 points	B, C, M, P	Moderate value
4 points	F, H, V, W, Y	Higher value
5 points	K	Valuable in short words
8 points	J, X	High value
10 points	Q, Z	Highest value
0 points	Blank (?)	Save for high-value plays

Advanced Scrabble Strategies

Save your S tiles. The letter S lets you pluralize an existing word on the board while simultaneously playing a new word. This "hooking" technique lets you score points for two words with a single play.

Use blank tiles wisely. Save blanks for seven-letter words that earn the 50-point bonus (a "bingo"). Our helper shows you which words require blank tiles.

Learn the high-value two-letter words. Words like QI (11 points), ZA (11 points), JO (9 points) are essential for parallel plays.

Watch your vowel-consonant balance. A good rack has roughly equal vowels and consonants. Our helper handles this automatically — enter whatever tiles you have.
