When a AY starting-letters list helps most

Start with shorter words for crosswords, Wordle-style constraints, and quick board plays. Longer groups are better for checking prefixes, anagrams, and uncommon word starts. Scores show base Scrabble letter values before board multipliers.

Choose the fastest next step

A starting-letters list is useful when the first letters are certain. Move to a solver when you also know length, endings, blanks, or letters that cannot appear.
