About this word list
At 35 words, this list covers common playable words alongside lesser-known entries accepted in competitive Scrabble. High-value letter density matters: roughly 3 results here include at least one premium tile worth 8–10 points on its own. Watch for recurring suffixes like -AP, -BP, -CP when planning hooks and parallel plays. Top scorer: pq (13 pts). Average Scrabble value across the list is 5.5 points per word. 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. In tournament Scrabble, knowing word counts and score distributions for common patterns saves seconds per turn — seconds that add up over 30+ games. With a vowel ratio of 0.13, this list skews consonant-heavy — keep extra vowels on your rack when targeting these words.
