Daily Rack · day 34
Tuesday 15 September 2026
N1A1S1O1I1C2K5
Every player in the world opened Tuesday 15 September 2026 with the same seven tiles: N, A, S, O, I, C, K. 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 SNACK, worth 32 points. It plays down, starting 2 squares before the centre star. In all, 104 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.
