Every day everyone gets the same seven letter tiles. Your job is to make the three best words you can from them. Each word needs at least three letters and must be in our word list; British and American spellings both count.
A word scores the values printed on its tiles plus a length bonus, so longer words and rarer letters pay. Your three words are scored separately and added together, and they can reuse the same tiles, so it pays to hunt for three strong words rather than one.
Submit once, then see the best possible three, every word that uses all seven tiles, and how your score compares with everyone who played today. A new puzzle appears at midnight UK time.
