Why a Scrabble score would be misleading here
Words with Friends isn't just Scrabble with a different name. It uses its own letter point values, and they genuinely diverge for 12 letters. B, C, G, J, L, M, N, P, U, and V are all worth more in Words with Friends than in Scrabble, while H and Y are worth less. A tool that scores Words with Friends racks using Scrabble values would quietly get more than a tenth of the alphabet wrong. This one uses the correct table for the game you're actually playing.
Matching and blank-tile handling work exactly like our Scrabble Word Finder. Any letter your rack doesn't actually hold as a real tile is scored as 0, exactly like a real blank; only the point-value table changes.
One honest limitation: Words with Friends uses its own licensed dictionary (built on the Oxford English Dictionary), which doesn't perfectly match any general word list, including this one. Most common words will match fine, but if a specific result doesn't validate in-app, that's a dictionary difference, not a scoring error.
If you're deciding between two close-scoring words, remember the bonus squares on your specific board matter more than a few raw points. A smaller word landing on a double or triple word score often beats a larger one that doesn't.
How it works
Type up to 10 letters. Add ? for each blank tile you're holding.
Use Advanced options to require a starting letter, ending letter, or included letter.
Results are ranked by real Words with Friends point values, highest first.
Common questions
Are Words with Friends letter values really different from Scrabble?
Yes, 12 letters score differently. B, C, G, J, L, M, N, P, U, and V are worth more in Words with Friends than in Scrabble, while H and Y are worth less. Every other letter matches between the two games.
Does this use the official Words with Friends dictionary?
This tool checks your rack against WordPlayHQ's general 30,586-word English dictionary, not a licensed, game-specific word list. Words with Friends allows some words a general dictionary won't include, and vice versa, so treat results as a strong starting point rather than a guaranteed match to the in-app dictionary.
How are blank tiles scored?
Accurately. If a result word needs a letter your rack doesn't actually have, that letter scores 0, the same way a real blank tile works in Words with Friends, regardless of which letter it ends up representing.
Why does the same word score differently here than on your Scrabble Word Finder?
Because the two games use different point values for several letters. A word using B, C, G, J, L, M, N, P, U, or V scores higher here than it would on the Scrabble tool, since those letters are worth more in Words with Friends.
Does the score include the 35-point bonus for using all 7 tiles?
No. That bonus is specific to playing your entire rack in one turn on the actual board, which this tool has no visibility into. The score shown is the word's raw tile value only.
Can I filter by starting, ending, or included letters?
Yes. Advanced options supports the same starts-with, ends-with, and must-include filters as every rack-based tool on this site.
Why does Words with Friends have higher letter values overall than Scrabble?
Words with Friends packs more points into its 104-tile bag (220 total) than Scrabble does across its 100 tiles (187 total), largely by pricing several mid-frequency letters higher. That's a deliberate game-design choice, not an error carried over from Scrabble.
Is the word list the same for Words with Friends 1 and Words with Friends 2?
This tool doesn't distinguish between app versions since it isn't pulling from either game's live dictionary. If you're playing WWF2 specifically, treat any unusual result the same way: a strong candidate to try, not a guarantee.
