About this word list
At 705 words, this list covers common playable words alongside lesser-known entries accepted in competitive Scrabble. Scrabble players will notice 95 words carrying Q, X, Z, J, or K — letters that separate casual players from competitive ones. Common endings in this list include -IC, -ES, -ED, -ISH — patterns that let you extend words already on the board. The highest-scoring word shown is oxyazo at 25 points. While Wordle uses a smaller answer list, studying broader dictionary patterns here helps you eliminate impossible guesses faster. Competitive Scrabble strategy relies on pattern recognition. Lists like this train your brain to spot playable words under time pressure. 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

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. Average Scrabble value here is 13.7 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight. Average Scrabble value here is 13.7 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 705 words matching this pattern. The average length is 6 letters and the average Scrabble score is 13.7 points. The highest-scoring entry shown is oxyazo (25 pts).
- Are there high-scoring words in this list?
- 95 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.

- 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.

- 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.
