How LIKE was unscrambled

Unscrambling does not mean testing every arrangement of LIKE. Instead, every word in the dictionary is filed under a fingerprint made by sorting its letters alphabetically. Sorting these 4 letters gives eikl, and every subset of them is looked up directly against that index.

That is why the result is exhaustive rather than a best guess. All 10 words shown here are every word the dictionary contains that can be built from these letters, with nothing omitted.

Playing the letters LIKE

Since LIKE uses all 4 letters, it is the play to look for first — in Scrabble, using all seven tiles from a full rack earns a 50-point bingo bonus on top of the word score.
