Daily Rack · day 25
Sunday 6 September 2026
E1W3A1R1I1G2F3
Every player in the world opened Sunday 6 September 2026 with the same seven tiles: E, W, A, R, I, G, F. 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 WAFER, worth 30 points. It plays down, starting 4 squares before the centre star. In all, 70 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.
The best word: WAFER for 30
