Words can use existing board letters; word length alone does not earn the bonus. This reference does not check your rack or board. Longer words or repeated letters may need board letters or blanks.

Dictionary reference and how we check GET
UK validity uses SOWPODS / CSW24 (UK & International Scrabble). Meanings are separately attributed and do not determine Scrabble acceptance.
How we check words, scores and meanings
The checker accepts 2–32 A–Z letters. A word on a standard Scrabble board can span at most 15 squares. Accepting a spelling for lookup does not make it playable.
UK word-list check
We match the complete spelling, ignoring letter case, against the configured UK dictionary. A definition or a similar spelling does not make a word valid.
This result uses SOWPODS / CSW24 (UK & International Scrabble).
Meaning sources
Definitions are separate from Scrabble membership. WordNet supplies general English senses for the exact spelling; these can describe several uses, including names or a game. They do not identify which sense a Scrabble list accepts. Definitions are shown where available; a missing meaning does not change the word-list result.
Lexical source: Princeton WordNet. Available meanings are displayed above, grouped by part of speech.
Scores and related words
Letter totals use standard Scrabble tile values, without board premiums or a rack bonus. Related words come from the same UK list. Hooks add one letter to a valid base; exact anagrams use all its letters; shorter rack words use only the letters supplied. Starting and ending matches are spelling relationships, not proof that a fragment is playable.
Spelling alternatives are checked against that same list before ranking. The order favours the same length and initial letter, then the availability of a general meaning to help compare entries, an unchanged ending and the shared beginning. Alphabetical order breaks remaining ties. Tile points do not determine this order; it is not a measure of frequency or a prediction of your intended word.
Other installed word-list checks are available beside the main answer. These memberships do not change the UK verdict or certify another game’s current rules.
