Words with these letters
Type the letters you have and instantly see every common English word you can build from them. It is a word finder for tile games like Scrabble and Words With Friends, and for any puzzle where you need to spell words from a limited set of letters.
How it works
The tool first counts how many of each letter you entered. It then scans its built-in dictionary and keeps only the words that can be spelled within that supply — using each letter no more times than you have it. The approach is a standard subset-check: for each candidate word, the tool confirms that the frequency of every letter in the word is less than or equal to the frequency in your input. Any word that passes is a valid play.
Unlike an anagram unscrambler — which requires using all your letters to form a single word — this finder returns words that use some or all of your letters. This matches how tile games actually work: you can play a three-letter word with seven tiles on your rack, as long as all three letters are available.
Results are sorted longest first, because longer words generally score more in tile games and are the most valuable to find first.
Example — a seven-letter rack
Type the rack RATELS. Because S, T, R, A, E, L are all available (each once), the finder can return:
- 6-letter: ALTERS, ALERTS, STALER, TALERS
- 5-letter: RALES, STALE, TALES, LATER, ALERT, ALTER, ARLES
- 4-letter: REAL, LATE, RATE, SALE, TALE, TARE, LEST, EARL, RALE, TEAL
- 3-letter: ALE, RAT, EAR, ATE, TAR, SET, LET, and more
A word like STREET is excluded because it needs two E’s and two T’s, and you entered only one of each.
Tips for getting the most out of it
Add a blank tile. If your game allows blank tiles, try entering a wildcard character or simply add the letter you think fills the best slot. The finder will show words using that letter alongside your others.
Sort by score, not length. While results are listed longest first by default, a shorter word landing on a triple-word square often outscores a longer word elsewhere. Use the length list to identify candidates, then calculate scores separately.
Look for less-obvious short words. High-value short words in Scrabble include words using Q, Z, J, and X. If your rack contains any of these, scan the 3- and 4-letter results carefully — a 3-letter Z word on a double-letter square can be worth more than a 6-letter play in a bad position.
When parallel play matters. In a crowded board, a 3-letter word that plays parallel to existing tiles and scores multiple words simultaneously can outperform the longest standalone play. Use this finder to generate candidates and then check board placement separately.
Difference from word unscramblers
A word unscrambler finds anagrams — words that use every one of your letters, rearranged. Use an unscrambler when you want to find the single longest word from your exact rack with no leftovers. Use this words-with-these-letters finder when you are happy to play a subset and want to see all options of every length, which is the more common need in actual game play.
