With only 16 matches in our dictionary, every word here is worth memorising — there are no filler entries. High-value letter density matters: roughly 2 results here include at least one premium tile worth 8–10 points on its own. If you struggle with vowel-heavy racks, note that 6 of these words contain mostly vowels and hook cleanly onto existing board words. Suffix patterns such as -VE, -IVE appear frequently here and are high-yield targets in both Scrabble and Words with Friends. For quick wins, prioritise chive (13 pts) — they lead this list on raw tile value. Daily Wordle solvers benefit from lists like this when a letter pattern repeats across puzzles; knowing valid words in advance reduces wasted guesses. Words with Friends shares most of these entries; the average score of 9.8 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. The average vowel-to-consonant ratio here is 0.48, which affects how easily you can form these words from a random seven-tile rack.
