Average Scrabble value across the list is 5.8 points per word. Daily Wordle solvers benefit from lists like this when a letter pattern repeats across puzzles; knowing valid words in advance reduces wasted guesses.

Strategy & study tips
High-score density makes this page ideal for tournament warm-ups: scan the stats block, then quiz yourself on the five highest entries without looking at the list. About 10% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
When the board already shows the first letters, this page validates every 4-letter continuation before you spend a turn. 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 REQD, longest REQD. Build mnemonics around those two before expanding into the full 62 matches.

Frequently asked questions
