This page summarises 234 valid words — mean length 4, mean score 7.1.
At 234 words, this list covers common playable words alongside lesser-known entries accepted in competitive Scrabble. High-value letter density matters: roughly 45 results here include at least one premium tile worth 8–10 points on its own. Watch for recurring suffixes like -AN, -NG, -NK, -ANG when planning hooks and parallel plays. The highest-scoring word shown is zany at 16 points. 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. Words with Friends shares most of these entries; the average score of 7.1 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. The average vowel-to-consonant ratio here is 0.38, which affects how easily you can form these words from a random seven-tile rack.

Premium letters drive the top of this list. Prioritise words with Q, X, Z, J, or K when double- and triple-letter squares are open — raw tile value here often exceeds 15 points before multipliers. About 23% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
Internal substrings often appear in compound answers. Scan length sections below to match exact slot size. Average Scrabble value here is 7.1 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight. Internal links point to Pattern Finder, Crossword Solver, Anagram Solver, and Wordle Solver — each tool adds interactivity this static list intentionally omits.
