- Highest-value tile: X at 8 Scrabble points (8 in Words With Friends). Build around it when a premium square is available.

lxyy— every word sharing this signature is an anagram of XYLY.

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.
