Frequently asked questions

- 60 words in this sample include premium letters (Q, X, Z, J, or K). These are strong candidates for double- and triple-letter square plays in Scrabble.
- Can I find 3-letter words without J?
- Use the Pattern Finder with length set to 3 and "exclude letters" set to J to see words of that length that do not contain the letter.
