What makes HARRY interesting

- Rare letters: Y — uncommon in English, which is why the derived list is shorter than a rack of the same length made of common letters.

- Score ranking: at 11 points, HARRY scores higher than 72% of all 5-letter words in our dictionary.

How We Calculated These Words
Every candidate above was looked up by its alphabetical signature— the letters of the word sorted into A–Z order. Two words share a signature if and only if they contain the same letters, which is what makes anagram and sub-anagram lookups instant instead of O(n!). We then subtract each candidate's per-letter counts from your input's counts, drawing on the wildcard pool for any deficit, so only words you actually have the tiles to spell are returned.
