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 2,821 words matching this pattern. The average length is 9 letters and the average Scrabble score is 21.2 points. The highest-scoring entry shown is dizzardly (32 pts).

Are there high-scoring words in this list?

152 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.

Is this tool free to use?

Strategy & study tips
