How to use the Scrabble Word Finder

Enter up to 7 letters from your rack. Use ? for a blank tile — the finder will try all 26 possible letters. Results are sorted by Scrabble point value so you always see the most valuable play first. Use the board filters to match letters already on the board.

Scrabble tile point values

Point values follow the official North American Scrabble distribution: Q and Z are worth 10 points each; J and X score 8; K scores 5; and common letters like A, E, I, O, U, L, N, R, S, T score just 1. Building long words and hitting premium squares multiplies these values.

High-value Scrabble strategies

  • 7-letter bingo: Using all 7 tiles earns a 50-point bonus — look for words in the 7-letter group first.
  • Q without U: Words like QI, QOPH, QANAT and QIGONG let you dump a Q without needing a U.
  • Two-letter words: AA, AE, AI, OE, XI, XU — memorising these unlocks tight board positions.
  • Hooks: Adding a single letter to an existing word (e.g. TRAIN → TRAINS, STRAINS) maximises your tiles.
  • Save the S: S tiles are versatile hooks — don't waste them on low-value plays.
