About this word list
Our dictionary returns 287 matches — a deep pool for anagram practice, crossword solving, and vocabulary building. Scrabble players will notice 24 words carrying Q, X, Z, J, or K — letters that separate casual players from competitive ones. Suffix patterns such as -ED, -ES, -ER, -GAS appear frequently here and are high-yield targets in both Scrabble and Words with Friends. For quick wins, prioritise vizzy (29 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 10.9 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. With a vowel ratio of 0.39, this list skews consonant-heavy — keep extra vowels on your rack when targeting these words.

Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from “words starting with”?
- The general starting-with hub includes every length. This page locks word size (e.g. only 5-letter words starting with S), which matches Wordle and crossword slots more closely.
- How many words match this pattern?
- Our dictionary contains 287 words matching this pattern. The average length is 5 letters and the average Scrabble score is 10.9 points. The highest-scoring entry shown is vizzy (29 pts).
- Are there high-scoring words in this list?
- 24 words in this sample include premium letters (Q, X, Z, J, or K). These are strong candidates for double- and triple-letter square plays in Scrabble.
- Is this page useful for Wordle?
- Yes. Wordle uses 5-letter words, so length-filtered lists and pattern pages help you validate guesses and build a mental dictionary of allowed combinations before you play.

- How are the point scores calculated?
- Scores are the raw sum of standard Scrabble letter values (A=1, B=3, C=3, D=2 … Z=10) without board multipliers. Higher-scoring words contain rarer letters like Q, X, or Z.
- Can I combine multiple pattern filters?
- Yes. Use the Pattern Finder to combine starts-with, ends-with, contains, exact length, include letters, and exclude letters in a single search — the same engine that powers these curated lists.
