Data at a glance — 122 matches, 15.6 avg pts, 5 avg letters.
With 122 valid entries, this is one of the larger curated lists on unscrambletools.com, sorted by length and Scrabble score for quick scanning. This list includes 122 words with high-value letters like Q, X, or Z — prime targets for premium squares on a Scrabble board. Vowel-rich words dominate this set — 64 entries lean heavily on A, E, I, O, and U, which helps when your rack is consonant-heavy. Common endings in this list include -UE, -UI, -DS, -QUE — patterns that let you extend words already on the board. For quick wins, prioritise squiz (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. With a vowel ratio of 0.51, this list favours vowel-rich racks.
