Q Without U? Solved

Find QAT (UK/US), QOPH (UK), or QI (US) instantly. Never panic over a Q again.

2-Letter Power

Turn "useless" tiles into points with ZA (US slang for pizza), CH (UK valid!), or MM (plural gem).

High-Scoring Gems

Discover ZYME (enzyme, 18 base points) or JAZZY (33 base points). Search "Contains: Z" or "Contains: J" to find more.

Blanks as Wildcards

Use "?" for unknowns. S?R becomes SIR, SAR, or SUR (French "on" in UK Scrabble).

Combine Filters

Ending Plus Length

Set "Ends: ING" and "Length: 7" together to find only 7-letter words ending in -ING, not every -ING word in the dictionary.

Starting Plus Contains

Set "Starts: RE" and "Contains: X" to find words that both begin with RE and include an X somewhere after it.

Wildcards Plus Filters

A wildcard letter pattern like "c?t" can be combined with a length or ending filter for an even narrower match.
