All 6-letter dictionary words that include the letter sequence OUS. Combining exact length with an internal substring mirrors advanced Pattern Finder filters without opening the interactive tool.
Data at a glance — 137 matches, 8.6 avg pts, 6 avg letters.
Our dictionary returns 137 matches — a deep pool for anagram practice, crossword solving, and vocabulary building. High-value letter density matters: roughly 7 results here include at least one premium tile worth 8–10 points on its own. Suffix patterns such as -US, -SE, -ED, -OUS appear frequently here and are high-yield targets in both Scrabble and Words with Friends. The highest-scoring word shown is zygous at 19 points. Daily Wordle solvers benefit from lists like this when a letter pattern repeats across puzzles; knowing valid words in advance reduces wasted guesses. In tournament Scrabble, knowing word counts and score distributions for common patterns saves seconds per turn — seconds that add up over 30+ games. With a vowel ratio of 0.49, this list favours vowel-rich racks.

Vowel-dense patterns often appear in Wordle answer pools and casual Words with Friends boards. Memorise a handful of high-scorers first, then drill mid-score words for defensive blocking. About 5% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
Combine this static list with Pattern Finder exclusions when you know a letter cannot appear in the word. Average Scrabble value here is 8.6 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight. Anchor words: highest scorer ZYGOUS, longest ZYGOUS. Build mnemonics around those two before expanding into the full 137 matches.
