What makes GUAVA interesting

  • Letter make-up: 3 vowels (U, A, A) and 2 consonants (G, V) — a vowel ratio of 60%. Vowel-heavy racks like this one dump vowels well but rarely score big.
  • Rare letters: V — 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: V at 4 Scrabble points (5 in Words With Friends). Build around it when a premium square is available.
  • Score ranking: at 9 points, GUAVA scores higher than 49% of all 5-letter words in our dictionary.
  • Dictionary status: valid in TWL. See what each dictionary covers →
  • Wordle: GUAVA is five letters, so it is a structurally valid guess. Wordle would accept it.
  • Alphabetical signature: aaguv — every word sharing this signature is an anagram of GUAVA.

About Unscrambling GUAVA

The letters GUAVA (g, u, a, v, a) can be rearranged into 17 different words, the longest of which are 5-letter words. Every one of those words is listed in full above — nothing is hidden behind a click or a script.

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.
