All 5-letter dictionary words that include the letter sequence AN. Combining exact length with an internal substring mirrors advanced Pattern Finder filters without opening the interactive tool.
Below is a snapshot of 838 dictionary matches (200 shown), averaging 5 letters and 12 Scrabble points.
Our dictionary returns 838 matches — a deep pool for anagram practice, crossword solving, and vocabulary building. High-value letter density matters: roughly 118 results here include at least one premium tile worth 8–10 points on its own. Common endings in this list include -AN, -NK, -NG, -ANK — patterns that let you extend words already on the board. For quick wins, prioritise zanza (23 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 0.32, 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.
A deep result pool supports spaced repetition — study one length bucket per day rather than cramming the full scroll in a single sitting. About 59% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
