About this tool

This page pre-solves every English word that can be made from the letters "illustrate", using the standard ENABLE dictionary (~170,000 words), ordered from longest to shortest. The number after each word is its Scrabble score — useful for Scrabble, Words With Friends, and Wordfeud. To try a different rack or add must-include / starts-with / ends-with filters, use the interactive tool below.

Tips for scoring better

• Play the longest word you can — using more tiles scores more points.
• Remember the high-value letters: Q and Z are 10 points, J and X are 8.
• Learn the two-letter words (qi, za, xu) — lifesavers when you're stuck.
• Use ? or * for a blank/wildcard tile; the tool accepts them directly.
