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 301 words matching this pattern. The average length is 3 letters and the average Scrabble score is 6.1 points. The highest-scoring entry shown is rfz (15 pts).
- Are there high-scoring words in this list?
- 29 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 3-letter words without R?
- Use the Pattern Finder with length set to 3 and "exclude letters" set to R to see words of that length that do not contain the letter.

- 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.
