About this word list
Our dictionary returns 1,505 matches — a deep pool for anagram practice, crossword solving, and vocabulary building. Among these entries, 117 contain rare tiles that can dramatically boost your score when played on double- or triple-letter squares. Common endings in this list include -ED, -LY, -IC, -ING — patterns that let you extend words already on the board. For quick wins, prioritise nonequalized (31 pts) — they lead this list on raw tile value. While Wordle uses a smaller answer list, studying broader dictionary patterns here helps you eliminate impossible guesses faster. In tournament Scrabble, knowing word counts and score distributions for common patterns saves seconds per turn — seconds that add up over 30+ games. With a vowel ratio of 0.38, this list skews consonant-heavy — keep extra vowels on your rack when targeting these words.

Strategy & study tips
A deep result pool supports spaced repetition — study one length bucket per day rather than cramming the full scroll in a single sitting. About 59% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
Prefix-locked length lists train slot-filling for crosswords and Wordle. Start with the highest-scoring opener, then drill hooks that add one letter before the prefix. Review related searches at the bottom of this page to hop between adjacent patterns without competing URLs in search results. Internal links point to Pattern Finder, Crossword Solver, Anagram Solver, and Wordle Solver — each tool adds interactivity this static list intentionally omits.

Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from “words starting with”?
- The general starting-with hub includes every length. This page locks word size (e.g. only 5-letter words starting with S), which matches Wordle and crossword slots more closely.
- How many words match this pattern?
- Our dictionary contains 1,505 words matching this pattern. The average length is 12 letters and the average Scrabble score is 23.2 points. The highest-scoring entry shown is nonequalized (31 pts).
- Are there high-scoring words in this list?
- 117 words in this sample include premium letters (Q, X, Z, J, or K). These are strong candidates for double- and triple-letter square plays in Scrabble.
- Is this page useful for Wordle?
- Yes. Wordle uses 5-letter words, so length-filtered lists and pattern pages help you validate guesses and build a mental dictionary of allowed combinations before you play.
- Are these valid Scrabble words?
- Yes. Results are drawn from a standard English word list that aligns closely with the official Scrabble dictionary. All displayed words are accepted in competitive Scrabble play.
- Can I use these words in Words with Friends?
- Most Scrabble-valid words are also legal in Words with Friends. The two games use slightly different word lists, but the overlap is large. Use this list as a solid starting point for either game.
- How are the point scores calculated?
- Scores are the raw sum of standard Scrabble letter values (A=1, B=3, C=3, D=2 … Z=10) without board multipliers. Higher-scoring words contain rarer letters like Q, X, or Z.
- Can I combine multiple pattern filters?
- Yes. Use the Pattern Finder to combine starts-with, ends-with, contains, exact length, include letters, and exclude letters in a single search — the same engine that powers these curated lists.
- How many words are in the dictionary?
- The dictionary contains over 350 000 English words, covering everything from common 2-letter words to rare 15-letter entries, with proper nouns and abbreviations excluded.
- Is this tool free to use?
