FACT

FACT 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 FACT a Scrabble word?" with data — not guesswork — before you play a tile or fill a crossword slot.

FACT (noun): a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred; "first you must collect all the facts of the case". Additional senses: a concept whose truth can be proved; "scientific hypotheses are not facts"; a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened; "he supported his argument with an impressive array of facts"; an event known to have happened or something known to have existed; "your fears have no basis in fact"; "how much of the story is fact and how much fiction is hard to tell".

In standard Scrabble scoring, FACT totals 9 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. FACT relies mostly on common tiles, which often makes it easier to play from a mixed rack but caps the raw ceiling compared with high-premium words.

FACT is 4 letters long, begins with F, ends with T, and sorts to the alphagram ACFT. No other entry in this dictionary rearranges into the same letter set, so FACT is unique within its alphagram family. Letter makeup: 1 vowel, 3 consonants.
