Words With Friends Word Finder & Tools

Words With Friends assigns its own point value to each letter, separate from Scrabble. For example, in WWF the letter S is worth 1 point (compared to 1 in Scrabble too, but many other letters shift): J and X are worth 8, Q and Z are worth 10, while common letters like E, A, I, O, N, R, T stay at 1 point. The tile bag also holds different quantities of each letter than a Scrabble set, which changes how often you'll draw high-value tiles like Q or Z over the course of a game.

The board layout is different too. WWF uses DL (double letter), TL (triple letter), DW (double word), and TW (triple word) squares, but they're arranged differently than a Scrabble board and there are more bonus squares clustered toward the center. That means the same word can score very differently depending on which game you're playing.

Enter the letters from your rack, including a blank as a wildcard, and the word finder returns every valid dictionary word those letters can make, sorted by length or score. This is useful when you're stuck with an awkward rack like AEIOUQZ and need to see what's actually playable.

The anagram solver works the same way but is built for the specific case of rearranging a fixed set of letters into one or more words, which is handy for solving a rack in one pass rather than filtering a long results list.

The score calculator applies WWF's own letter values plus any bonus squares you select, so you can compare two candidate plays before committing a turn. A 7-letter play that uses your whole rack also earns a 35-point bonus in Words With Friends, separate from any board bonuses.

Good WWF strategy starts with rack balance: aim to hold a workable mix of vowels and consonants rather than hoarding letters, look for two-letter hooks that extend existing words on the board, and consider swapping tiles when your rack is stuck on Q, X, or duplicate vowels with no good outlet.

We built these tools because they're useful for anyone who plays word games, and we reference official game rules only to make our calculators accurate.

Because WordCue's dictionary is broader than the official WWF word list, always double-check an unusual word inside the Words With Friends app before playing it in a live match — the game's built-in checker is the final authority on what counts as valid.
