What makes WAFTS interesting

  • Rare letters: W, F — uncommon in English, which is why the derived list is shorter than a rack of the same length made of common letters.

  • Score ranking: at 11 points, WAFTS scores higher than 72% of all 5-letter words in our dictionary.
  • Dictionary status: valid in TWL. See what each dictionary covers →
  • Wordle: WAFTS 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.
