Every 5-letter word in our dictionary that begins with RE. This length-locked prefix list is narrower than our general “words starting with RE” hub, so you can study exact slot sizes without wading through longer entries.
This page summarises 222 valid words — mean length 5, mean score 7.9.
At 222 words, this list covers common playable words alongside lesser-known entries accepted in competitive Scrabble. High-value letter density matters: roughly 22 results here include at least one premium tile worth 8–10 points on its own. Watch for recurring suffixes like -ET, -AN, -AY, -AAL when planning hooks and parallel plays. The highest-scoring word shown is refix at 15 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 7.9 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. With a vowel ratio of 0.4, this list skews consonant-heavy — keep extra vowels on your rack when targeting these words.

Premium letters drive the top of this list. Prioritise words with Q, X, Z, J, or K when double- and triple-letter squares are open — raw tile value here often exceeds 15 points before multipliers. About 11% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
When the board already shows the first letters, this page validates every 5-letter continuation before you spend a turn. Internal links point to Pattern Finder, Crossword Solver, Anagram Solver, and Wordle Solver — each tool adds interactivity this static list intentionally omits. Anchor words: highest scorer REFIX, longest REFIX. Build mnemonics around those two before expanding into the full 222 matches.
