About this word list

Scrabble players will notice 186 words carrying Q, X, Z, J, or K — letters that separate casual players from competitive ones.

Strategy & study tips

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 2,921 words matching this pattern. The average length is 9 letters and the average Scrabble score is 23.3 points. The highest-scoring entry shown is bumfuzzle (34 pts).
- Are there high-scoring words in this list?
- 186 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.

- 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.

- 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.
