Scrabble Solver
Analyze your rack and find the highest-scoring plays
Smart Analysis Behind Every Play
The Scrabble Solver takes a data-driven approach to rack analysis. Enter your tiles and the solver exhaustively evaluates every valid permutation against the official Scrabble dictionary, scoring each word with precise tile values and flagging Bingo opportunities. Whether you are practicing for tournament play, studying word patterns, or resolving a friendly dispute, this tool provides the analytical edge you need.
How It Works
Input Your Rack
Type up to 15 rack letters. Use # for blank tiles that can represent any letter (scored at 0 points).
Add Board Context
Optionally enter letters already on the board with ? for open spaces. Choose where the pattern fits: start, anywhere, end, or exact.
Analyze Results
Review results sorted by score, length, or alphabetically. Bingo-eligible words (7+ letters) are flagged with a gold badge.

Strategic Insights
- Maximize premium squares: Triple Word Score squares multiply your entire word by 3 — plan two moves ahead to position yourself for these high-value cells
- Preserve S tiles strategically: Adding S to an existing word scores both the original word and your new word simultaneously — save S for maximum-impact plays
- Master Q-without-U words: QI, QOPH, QADI, QANAT, QINTAR, and QWERTY let you deploy Q without holding U in reserve
- Target Bingo opportunities: Using all 7 tiles earns a 50-point bonus — the solver flags these with a BINGO badge so you never miss a rack-clearing play
- Maintain rack balance: A 3:4 or 4:3 vowel-to-consonant ratio gives you the most flexibility for subsequent turns
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Scrabble solver work?
Enter your rack letters into the input field (up to 15 tiles). Use # for blank tiles. The solver analyzes every valid permutation against the selected dictionary and ranks results by score so you can identify the optimal play.
What are the highest-scoring two-letter words?
QI and ZA both score 11 points, making them the highest-scoring two-letter words in standard Scrabble. XI, XU, JO, AX, EX, and OX each score 9 points. Memorizing these is essential for parallel plays and tight board positions.
What is the Bingo bonus?
When you play all 7 tiles from your rack in a single turn, you earn a 50-point Bingo bonus on top of the word score. The solver highlights Bingo-eligible words with a gold badge so you can evaluate whether the rack-clearing play outscores shorter alternatives.
Which tournament dictionaries are supported?
We support Scrabble-US (TWL/NWL) used in North American tournaments, Scrabble-UK (SOWPODS/Collins) used internationally, the Words With Friends dictionary, and international dictionaries for French, Italian, Romanian, and Spanish.
