SOWPODS vs TWL — The 40,000 Word Difference

SOWPODS is the international Scrabble word list used in the UK, Australia, South Africa, and most of the world outside North America. It contains approximately 40,000 more words than the North American TWL list. ZO, PHO, QOPH, NAEVI, ZOEAE — valid in SOWPODS but not TWL. Our database covers both lists, so all SOWPODS words appear in results.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Enter your tiles — SOWPODS words are included in our complete database
  2. Check short unusual words: many valid SOWPODS 2-3 letter words aren't in TWL
  3. Verify any unusual word before playing in official competition
  4. Sort by score to find highest-value SOWPODS-specific plays
  5. Use ? for blank tiles — all 26 possibilities checked against full SOWPODS

High-Value SOWPODS-Only Words

ZOEAE (16pts) — zoea larvae plural. These appear in our results from UK games — use them legally in SOWPODS tournaments.
