About this word list
At 103 words, this list covers common playable words alongside lesser-known entries accepted in competitive Scrabble. High-value letter density matters: roughly 8 results here include at least one premium tile worth 8–10 points on its own. Watch for recurring suffixes like -SE, -DY, -MS, -AAM when planning hooks and parallel plays. The highest-scoring word shown is prexy at 17 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 8.9 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. With a vowel ratio of 0.3, this list skews consonant-heavy — keep extra vowels on your rack when targeting these words.

Strategy & study tips
Consonant-heavy results reward players who keep extra vowels on the rack. Before forcing one of these words, check whether a simpler vowel play opens a bingo lane next turn. About 8% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
Prefix-locked length lists train slot-filling for crosswords and Wordle. Start with the highest-scoring opener, then drill hooks that add one letter before the prefix.

Frequently asked questions
