- Rare letters: K — 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: K at 5 Scrabble points (5 in Words With Friends). Build around it when a premium square is available.
- Alphabetical signature:
iko— every word sharing this signature is an anagram of IKO.

About Unscrambling IKO
The letters IKO (i, k, o) can be rearranged into 8 different words, the longest of which are 3-letter words. Every one of those words is listed in full above — nothing is hidden behind a click or a script.
Definition: an unscramble is the act of rearranging a jumbled set of letters back into valid dictionary words. Unlike a simple anagram (which must use every letter exactly once), unscrambling also finds every shorter sub-word that can be built from a subset of those letters.
IKO does not appear in the TWL, SOWPODS or ENABLE dictionaries, so it cannot be played directly — but you can still form 8 valid words from its letters.

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.
