  • Rare letters: Q — 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 14 points, QUAIS scores higher than 91% of all 5-letter words in our dictionary.
  • Dictionary status: valid in TWL. See what each dictionary covers →

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.
