Pro tips & strategy
- Tile value isn't final score. The number shown is base letter value only — your real score also depends on double/triple letter and word squares on the board.
- Guard your blanks and your S. They're your most flexible tiles; spend them on plays that hit a bonus or clear your rack.
- Aim long words at premium squares so a whole word doubles or triples.
- Prefer a list grouped by length? The Word Descrambler stacks words longest-first instead of by score.

Clearing all seven tiles in one turn earns a bonus (35 points in Wordfeud, 50 in Scrabble). Racks heavy in common letters — the ones like aersti? above — are your best chance at pulling one off.
