How to use this list
Results are ordered by strategic score rather than alphabetically, so the plays most worth making appear first. Each card shows the tile score, the word length and why the word ranks where it does. Save a word to revisit it later, or open a solver to filter against the exact letters on your rack.
Word validity depends on the lexicon your game uses. This prototype ranks against a small demonstration list; a licensed commercial dictionary will expand these pages before launch.
