Daily Rack · day 15
Thursday 27 August 2026
T1A1I1B2W3D2U1
Every player in the world opened Thursday 27 August 2026 with the same seven tiles: T, A, I, B, W, D, U. The rack is derived from the date itself, so it is identical on every device and nobody gets an easier deal.
The highest-scoring opening word available on this rack is BAWD, worth 22 points. It plays across, starting on the centre star. In all, 55 different words can be played from these letters as an opening move.
Opening words are scored on an empty 13×13 board whose bonus squares are laid out in a four-fold pinwheel. The first word must cross the centre star, which is itself a double-word square, so every opening play is doubled before any letter bonuses underneath it are counted.
This day has closed, but the rack behind it is fixed forever — you can work the same seven tiles out on paper. Today's rack is always open on the home page.
