If you struggle with vowel-heavy racks, note that 91 of these words contain mostly vowels and hook cleanly onto existing board words. Watch for recurring suffixes like -IO, -ON, -OS, -ION when planning hooks and parallel plays. The highest-scoring word shown is dioxy at 16 points. 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. Words with Friends shares most of these entries; the average score of 7.2 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. With a vowel ratio of 0.57, this list favours vowel-rich racks.
