About this word list
A compact set of 29 words means you can review the entire list in one sitting and retain more for your next game. Common endings in this list include -ES, -ED, -IC, -CTS — patterns that let you extend words already on the board. For quick wins, prioritise eddish (11 pts) — they lead this list on raw tile value. While Wordle uses a smaller answer list, studying broader dictionary patterns here helps you eliminate impossible guesses faster. 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 0.43, this list skews consonant-heavy — keep extra vowels on your rack when targeting these words.

Strategy & study tips
A compact result set means you can memorise the entire page in one session. Treat each word as high leverage — there is little noise to filter out.
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. Review related searches at the bottom of this page to hop between adjacent patterns without competing URLs in search results. Internal links point to Pattern Finder, Crossword Solver, Anagram Solver, and Wordle Solver — each tool adds interactivity this static list intentionally omits.

Frequently asked questions
