About this word list
Our dictionary returns 75 matches — a deep pool for anagram practice, crossword solving, and vocabulary building. Among these entries, 75 contain rare tiles that can dramatically boost your score when played on double- or triple-letter squares. Suffix patterns such as -OX, -AX, -EX, -AIX appear frequently here and are high-yield targets in both Scrabble and Words with Friends. For quick wins, prioritise xxx (24 pts) — they lead this list on raw tile value. Daily Wordle solvers benefit from lists like this when a letter pattern repeats across puzzles; knowing valid words in advance reduces wasted guesses. Words with Friends shares most of these entries; the average score of 12.2 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. With a vowel ratio of 0.29, this list skews consonant-heavy — keep extra vowels on your rack when targeting these words.

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 75 words matching this pattern. The average length is 3 letters and the average Scrabble score is 12.2 points. The highest-scoring entry shown is xxx (24 pts).
- Are there high-scoring words in this list?
- 75 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 X?
- Use the Pattern Finder with length set to 3 and "exclude letters" set to X to see words of that length that do not contain the letter.
