About this word list
With 105 valid entries, this is one of the larger curated lists on unscrambletools.com, sorted by length and Scrabble score for quick scanning. Among these entries, 6 contain rare tiles that can dramatically boost your score when played on double- or triple-letter squares. Common endings in this list include -CH, -HE, -HO, -ACH — patterns that let you extend words already on the board. For quick wins, prioritise chez (18 pts) — they lead this list on raw tile value. While Wordle uses a smaller answer list, studying broader dictionary patterns here helps you eliminate impossible guesses faster. 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 0.26, which affects how easily you can form these words from a random seven-tile rack.
Try the Pattern Finder → for combined filters like starts-with, ends-with, include/exclude letters, and exact length.
Strategy & study tips
Consonant-heavy results reward players who keep extra vowels on the rack. Before forcing one of these words, check whether a simpler vowel play opens a bingo lane next turn. About 6% 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. Internal links point to Pattern Finder, Crossword Solver, Anagram Solver, and Wordle Solver — each tool adds interactivity this static list intentionally omits. Average Scrabble value here is 10.4 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight.
