About this word list
At 209 words, this list covers common playable words alongside lesser-known entries accepted in competitive Scrabble. This list includes 200 words with high-value letters like Q, X, or Z — prime targets for premium squares on a Scrabble board. Watch for recurring suffixes like -JA, -GS, -JO, -EJA when planning hooks and parallel plays. Top scorer: jazz (29 pts). Average Scrabble value across the list is 13.3 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 0.39, which affects how easily you can form these words from a random seven-tile rack.

Strategy & study tips
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 100% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
Combine this static list with Pattern Finder exclusions when you know a letter cannot appear in the word. Internal links point to Pattern Finder, Crossword Solver, Anagram Solver, and Wordle Solver — each tool adds interactivity this static list intentionally omits. Anchor words: highest scorer JAZZ, longest JAZZ. Build mnemonics around those two before expanding into the full 209 matches.
