This page summarises 361 valid words — mean length 3, mean score 7.4.
At 361 words, this list covers common playable words alongside lesser-known entries accepted in competitive Scrabble. Scrabble players will notice 58 words carrying Q, X, Z, J, or K — letters that separate casual players from competitive ones. Watch for recurring suffixes like -IM, -ID, -IG, -AHI when planning hooks and parallel plays. Top scorer: xix (17 pts). Average Scrabble value across the list is 7.4 points per word. Wordle players can use this list to build a mental model of valid pattern words before guessing — especially when narrowing by known greens and yellows. In tournament Scrabble, knowing word counts and score distributions for common patterns saves seconds per turn — seconds that add up over 30+ games. The average vowel-to-consonant ratio here is 0.42, which affects how easily you can form these words from a random seven-tile rack.
