Data at a glance — 324 matches, 11.6 avg pts, 7 avg letters.
At 324 words, this list covers common playable words alongside lesser-known entries accepted in competitive Scrabble. Scrabble players will notice 44 words carrying Q, X, Z, J, or K — letters that separate casual players from competitive ones. Watch for recurring suffixes like -ED, -VE, -SH, -AKE when planning hooks and parallel plays. The highest-scoring word shown is outjazz at 32 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 11.6 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. The average vowel-to-consonant ratio here is 0.48, which affects how easily you can form these words from a random seven-tile rack.

High-score density makes this page ideal for tournament warm-ups: scan the stats block, then quiz yourself on the five highest entries without looking at the list. About 22% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
When the board already shows the first letters, this page validates every 7-letter continuation before you spend a turn. Average Scrabble value here is 11.6 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight.
