Under the hood, UnscrambleX runs obliterating against full game dictionaries, keeps only the arrangements that are legal to play, and ranks what survives by score — which is how obliterating end up at the top of your results. The same engine powers checks for Scrabble, Words With Friends, and Word Jumble, so a word shown here is a word you can actually put on the board.

You can chase the points with obliterating, or play it safe with a quick low-tile drop like ae and ai when the board leaves you no room.
That gap matters: the weakest play here earns 2 points while the strongest reaches 15, so the same letters can swing an entire turn depending on where and how they land.
UnscrambleX lays out the full spread so you can weigh a big score against board control before committing — and along the way you'll bump into words you didn't know were words.
Treat the results list as a practice drill, not just an answer key. Cover it, shuffle obliterating in your head, and count how many of the 1204 words you can spot before peeking.
