How is this different from a general length list?

This page filters by both exact word length and a required letter. For example, 5-letter words with Q excludes 4- and 6-letter entries, giving you a tighter list for Wordle-style constraints or rack-specific study.

How many words match this pattern?

Our dictionary contains 5,871 words matching this pattern. The average length is 5 letters and the average Scrabble score is 15.4 points. The highest-scoring entry shown is swizz (26 pts).

Are there high-scoring words in this list?

193 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.

Can I find 5-letter words without S?

Use the Pattern Finder with length set to 5 and "exclude letters" set to S to see words of that length that do not contain the letter.

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.

Are these valid Scrabble words?

Yes. Results are drawn from a standard English word list that aligns closely with the official Scrabble dictionary. All displayed words are accepted in competitive Scrabble play.

Can I use these words in Words with Friends?

Most Scrabble-valid words are also legal in Words with Friends. The two games use slightly different word lists, but the overlap is large. Use this list as a solid starting point for either game.

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.
