Every 6-letter word in our dictionary that begins with ER. This length-locked prefix list is narrower than our general “words starting with ER” hub, so you can study exact slot sizes without wading through longer entries.
Below is a snapshot of 42 dictionary matches (42 shown), averaging 6 letters and 8 Scrabble points.
At 42 words, this list covers common playable words alongside lesser-known entries accepted in competitive Scrabble. Watch for recurring suffixes like -TS, -ES, -IC, -CTS when planning hooks and parallel plays. The highest-scoring word shown is ersatz at 15 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 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. With a vowel ratio of 0.42, this list skews consonant-heavy — keep extra vowels on your rack when targeting these words.
Try the Pattern Finder → for combined filters like starts-with, ends-with, include/exclude letters, and exact length.
A deep result pool supports spaced repetition — study one length bucket per day rather than cramming the full scroll in a single sitting. About 2% 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 ERSATZ, longest ERSATZ. Build mnemonics around those two before expanding into the full 42 matches. Average Scrabble value here is 8 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight.
