How is this different from words containing the same letters?

The unfiltered “words containing” page spans all lengths. This version keeps one length bucket so you can study exact slot patterns like 5-letter words containing QU.

How many words match this pattern?

Our dictionary contains 558 words matching this pattern. The average length is 8 letters and the average Scrabble score is 16.7 points. The highest-scoring entry shown is shivzoku (27 pts).

Are there high-scoring words in this list?

43 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.

Are these valid Scrabble words?

Yes. Results are drawn from a standard English word list that aligns closely with the official Scrabble dictionary. All displayed words are accepted in competitive Scrabble play.

Can I use these words in Words with Friends?

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.

Can I combine multiple pattern filters?

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.

How many words are in the dictionary?

The dictionary contains over 350 000 English words, covering everything from common 2-letter words to rare 15-letter entries, with proper nouns and abbreviations excluded.

About this word list

Our dictionary returns 558 matches — a deep pool for anagram practice, crossword solving, and vocabulary building. High-value letter density matters: roughly 43 results here include at least one premium tile worth 8–10 points on its own. Common endings in this list include -VE, -ED, -ES, -IVE — patterns that let you extend words already on the board. For quick wins, prioritise shivzoku (27 pts) — they lead this list on raw tile value. While Wordle uses a smaller answer list, studying broader dictionary patterns here helps you eliminate impossible guesses faster. In tournament Scrabble, knowing word counts and score distributions for common patterns saves seconds per turn — seconds that add up over 30+ games. The average vowel-to-consonant ratio here is 0.42, which affects how easily you can form these words from a random seven-tile rack.

Strategy & study tips

A deep result pool supports spaced repetition — study one length bucket per day rather than cramming the full scroll in a single sitting. About 22% 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 16.7 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.
