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 18.4 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers.

Strategy & study tips
Large lists pair well with the Pattern Finder: add exclusions or second constraints to carve study-sized subsets from the full dictionary count. About 59% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
Internal substrings often appear in compound answers. Scan length sections below to match exact slot size. Average Scrabble value here is 18.4 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight. Internal links point to Pattern Finder, Crossword Solver, Anagram Solver, and Wordle Solver — each tool adds interactivity this static list intentionally omits.
