About this word list
At 30,939 words, this list covers common playable words alongside lesser-known entries accepted in competitive Scrabble. Among these entries, 199 contain rare tiles that can dramatically boost your score when played on double- or triple-letter squares. Common endings in this list include -ED, -CK, -ES, -ACK — patterns that let you extend words already on the board. The highest-scoring word shown is pizzazzes at 47 points. While Wordle uses a smaller answer list, studying broader dictionary patterns here helps you eliminate impossible guesses faster. Competitive Scrabble strategy relies on pattern recognition. Lists like this train your brain to spot playable words under time pressure. With a vowel ratio of 0.37, this list skews consonant-heavy — keep extra vowels on your rack when targeting these words.

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 100% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.

Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from a general length list?
- This page filters by both exact word length and a required letter. For example, 5-letter words with Q excludes 4- and 6-letter entries, giving you a tighter list for Wordle-style constraints or rack-specific study.
- How many words match this pattern?
- Our dictionary contains 30,939 words matching this pattern. The average length is 9 letters and the average Scrabble score is 28.6 points. The highest-scoring entry shown is pizzazzes (47 pts).
- Are there high-scoring words in this list?
- 199 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.
- Can I find 9-letter words without A?
- Use the Pattern Finder with length set to 9 and "exclude letters" set to A to see words of that length that do not contain the letter.
- 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.
