About this word list
At 225 words, this list covers common playable words alongside lesser-known entries accepted in competitive Scrabble. High-value letter density matters: roughly 20 results here include at least one premium tile worth 8–10 points on its own. Watch for recurring suffixes like -ES, -IC, -IA, -LES when planning hooks and parallel plays. The highest-scoring word shown is anezeh at 18 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 8.4 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. With a vowel ratio of 0.45, this list skews consonant-heavy — keep extra vowels on your rack when targeting these words.

Strategy & study tips
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 10% 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. Anchor words: highest scorer ANEZEH, longest ANEZEH. Build mnemonics around those two before expanding into the full 225 matches. Average Scrabble value here is 8.4 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight.

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 225 words matching this pattern. The average length is 6 letters and the average Scrabble score is 8.4 points. The highest-scoring entry shown is anezeh (18 pts).
- Are there high-scoring words in this list?
- 20 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.

- 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.

- 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.
- 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.
