Our handy word finder will unscramble letters and list all the words you can play in your favorite word game. Just use the “ends in” function in the advanced search area. You can also filter by length, like if you only want a 5 letter word finder, for example. Remember to select your preferred game dictionary too. That way, you can be sure you’ll only get valid words, plus the correct scoring system for how many points each word is worth.
Play Big and Play Small
The standard Scrabble® game board consists of a 15 x 15 grid for a total of 225 squares. That’s the same size as the standard game board in Words With Friends®, though the two games differ on where you’ll find the bonus squares. So, the longest word you could theoretically play in either game is 15 letters long. The catch is you only have seven letter tiles on your rack, which means your word has to align with eight letter tiles that are already on the board.
If you’re exceptionally lucky, you might play NONCOMPUTERIZED or GEWURTZTRAMINERS for 30 points. Or maybe you might get RECONTEXTUALIZE for 31 points or EXTEMPORIZATION for 35 points. Realistically, you’ll probably never get an opportunity to play a 15-letter word in Scrabble®, but one can dream, right?
Word Games of All Sizes
Beyond the traditional 15 x 15 grid on a standard game, you can also try your hand at both bigger and smaller game boards. When you play the Solo Challenge in Words With Friends® or Rush Classic in Scrabble® GO, you do that on a smaller 11 x 11 grid for a total of 121 squares. It becomes a different kind of word scramble when you play on a different-sized board.
Alternatively, you can stretch out over the 21 x 21 grid (441 total squares) of the Super Scrabble® board. With Super Scrabble®, you also get twice as many letter tiles, so you’ve got even more opportunities to score even more points! Did you know Super Scrabble® even has quadruple letter and quadruple word bonus spaces? Yowza!
