Our dictionary returns 167 matches — a deep pool for anagram practice, crossword solving, and vocabulary building. Among these entries, 167 contain rare tiles that can dramatically boost your score when played on double- or triple-letter squares. Suffix patterns such as -ED, -ER, -TE, -IAN appear frequently here and are high-yield targets in both Scrabble and Words with Friends. For quick wins, prioritise zaqqum (35 pts) — they lead this list on raw tile value. Daily Wordle solvers benefit from lists like this when a letter pattern repeats across puzzles; knowing valid words in advance reduces wasted guesses. Words with Friends shares most of these entries; the average score of 18.6 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. The average vowel-to-consonant ratio here is 0.4, which affects how easily you can form these words from a random seven-tile rack.
