What makes WASPY interesting

  • Letter make-up: 1 vowel (A) and 4 consonants (W, S, P, Y) — a vowel ratio of 20%. Consonant-heavy racks like this one are hard to play; look for short vowel-light words first.
  • Rare letters: W, Y — uncommon in English, which is why the derived list is shorter than a rack of the same length made of common letters.
  • Highest-value tile: W at 4 Scrabble points (4 in Words With Friends). Build around it when a premium square is available.
  • Score ranking: at 13 points, WASPY scores higher than 87% 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.
