EXACT

EXACT is listed in the UnscrambleTools word-game dictionary used across our unscrambler, anagram, pattern, and scoring tools. Pages like this one exist so you can answer "Is EXACT a Scrabble word?" with data — not guesswork — before you play a tile or fill a crossword slot.

EXACT (verb): take as an undesirable consequence of some event or state of affairs; "the accident claimed three lives"; "The hard work took its toll on her". Additional senses: claim as due or just; "The bank demanded payment of the loan"; (of ideas, images, representations, expressions) characterized by perfect conformity to fact or truth; strictly correct; "a precise image"; "a precise measurement"; marked by strict and particular and complete accordance with fact; "an exact mind"; "an exact copy"; "hit the exact center of the target".

In standard Scrabble scoring, EXACT totals 14 points before multipliers. That sum uses official letter values: common tiles (A, E, I, O, U, L, N, S, T, R) are worth 1, while D and G are 2, B, C, M, P are 3, F, H, V, W, Y are 4, K is 5, J and X are 8, and Q and Z are 10. EXACT includes premium tiles (X), which can swing tight games when you cover a double- or triple-letter square.

EXACT is 5 letters long, begins with E, ends with T, and sorts to the alphagram ACETX. No other entry in this dictionary rearranges into the same letter set, so EXACT is unique within its alphagram family. Letter makeup: 2 vowels, 3 consonants.

Among 17 tracked 5-letter entries, EXACT ranks by raw score (14 points). Similar-length words in the same dictionary include JAZZY, FEZZY, FIZZY, FUZZY; open their word pages to compare endings, vowel weight, and crossover potential.

Strategically, EXACT carries 2 vowels and 3 consonants. High-value letters (X) make EXACT attractive when you can land a multiplier — but harder to play from a mixed rack. Hooks on E or T are common study angles; browse words starting with E and words ending with T to rehearse parallel sets.

EXACT is a 5-letter answer slot candidate. Filter by length 5, starts with E, ends with T, or contains letters from your crossing entries in the Crossword Solver and Pattern Finder. For American-style grids, 5-letter entries like EXACT frequently cross shorter words; knowing that EXACT contains A, C, E, T, X helps you test crossing letters quickly. When you only know a few cells, open the Crossword Solver with a pattern such as e???t to narrow candidates before checking definitions.

Notable letter pairs inside EXACT include AC, CT, EX — each links to a "contains" list for deeper drilling. Unique letters used: E, X, A, C, T. Letter-frequency tables on this site are built from the same dictionary that powers the Word Unscrambler, so list pages and word pages stay consistent.
