Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from a general length list?
- This page filters by both exact word length and a required letter. For example, 5-letter words with Q excludes 4- and 6-letter entries, giving you a tighter list for Wordle-style constraints or rack-specific study.
- How many words match this pattern?
- Our dictionary contains 45 words matching this pattern. The average length is 2 letters and the average Scrabble score is 4.2 points. The highest-scoring entry shown is aq (11 pts).

- 7 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.
- Can I find 2-letter words without A?
- Use the Pattern Finder with length set to 2 and "exclude letters" set to A to see words of that length that do not contain the letter.
