  • 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 8 points, IVIES scores higher than 32% of all 5-letter words in our dictionary.
  • Dictionary status: valid in TWL. See what each dictionary covers →
  • Wordle: IVIES is five letters, so it is a structurally valid guess. Wordle would accept it.

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.
