Below is a snapshot of 237 dictionary matches (200 shown), averaging 5 letters and 9.7 Scrabble points.
With 237 valid entries, this is one of the larger curated lists on unscrambletools.com, sorted by length and Scrabble score for quick scanning. High-value letter density matters: roughly 27 results here include at least one premium tile worth 8–10 points on its own. Common endings in this list include -AB, -BY, -BA, -BBY — patterns that let you extend words already on the board. For quick wins, prioritise abuzz (25 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 0.43, 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 14% 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.
