About this word list
With only 22 matches in our dictionary, every word here is worth memorising — there are no filler entries. Among these entries, 3 contain rare tiles that can dramatically boost your score when played on double- or triple-letter squares. If you struggle with vowel-heavy racks, note that 15 of these words contain mostly vowels and hook cleanly onto existing board words. Common endings in this list include -ON, -NS, -IC, -ION — patterns that let you extend words already on the board. Top scorer: axion (12 pts). Average Scrabble value across the list is 6.8 points per word. While Wordle uses a smaller answer list, studying broader dictionary patterns here helps you eliminate impossible guesses faster. Words with Friends shares most of these entries; the average score of 6.8 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. With a vowel ratio of 0.54, this list favours vowel-rich racks.

Strategy & study tips
Short lists are perfect for Wordle revision nights: read the list once, then attempt to recall every entry from memory. 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. Average Scrabble value here is 6.8 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight. Anchor words: highest scorer AXION, longest AXION. Build mnemonics around those two before expanding into the full 22 matches.
