INDEX

INDEX is listed in the UnscrambleTools word-game dictionary used across our unscrambler, anagram, pattern, and scoring tools. Pages like this one exist so you can answer "Is INDEX a Scrabble word?" with data — not guesswork — before you play a tile or fill a crossword slot.

INDEX (noun): the finger next to the thumb. Additional senses: an alphabetical listing of names and topics along with page numbers where they are discussed; a number or ratio (a value on a scale of measurement) derived from a series of observed facts; can reveal relative changes as a function of time; a mathematical notation indicating the number of times a quantity is multiplied by itself.

In standard Scrabble scoring, INDEX totals 13 points before multipliers. That sum uses official letter values: common tiles (A, E, I, O, U, L, N, S, T, R) are worth 1, while D and G are 2, B, C, M, P are 3, F, H, V, W, Y are 4, K is 5, J and X are 8, and Q and Z are 10. INDEX includes premium tiles (X), which can swing tight games when you cover a double- or triple-letter square.

INDEX is 5 letters long, begins with I, ends with X, and sorts to the alphagram DEINX. There is 1 anagram in this dictionary sharing that exact letter bag. Letter makeup: 2 vowels, 3 consonants.

Among 18 tracked 5-letter entries, INDEX ranks by raw score (13 points). Anagram alternatives include NIXED — useful when you need the same tiles with a different hook letter. Similar-length words in the same dictionary include JAZZY, FEZZY, FIZZY, FUZZY; open their word pages to compare endings, vowel weight, and crossover potential.

Strategically, INDEX carries 2 vowels and 3 consonants. High-value letters (X) make INDEX attractive when you can land a multiplier — but harder to play from a mixed rack. Hooks on I or X are common study angles; browse words starting with I and words ending with X to rehearse parallel sets.

INDEX is a 5-letter answer slot candidate. Filter by length 5, starts with I, ends with X, or contains letters from your crossing entries in the Crossword Solver and Pattern Finder. For American-style grids, 5-letter entries like INDEX frequently cross shorter words; knowing that INDEX contains D, E, I, N, X helps you test crossing letters quickly. When you only know a few cells, open the Crossword Solver with a pattern such as i???x to narrow candidates before checking definitions.

Notable letter pairs inside INDEX include DE, EX, ND — each links to a "contains" list for deeper drilling. Unique letters used: I, N, D, E, X. Letter-frequency tables on this site are built from the same dictionary that powers the Word Unscrambler, so list pages and word pages stay consistent.
