About this word list
Our dictionary returns 121 matches — a deep pool for anagram practice, crossword solving, and vocabulary building. High-value letter density matters: roughly 11 results here include at least one premium tile worth 8–10 points on its own. Suffix patterns such as -OM, -GD, -ES, -DOM appear frequently here and are high-yield targets in both Scrabble and Words with Friends. For quick wins, prioritise amygdalopathy (28 pts) — they lead this list on raw tile value. Daily Wordle solvers benefit from lists like this when a letter pattern repeats across puzzles; knowing valid words in advance reduces wasted guesses. Words with Friends shares most of these entries; the average score of 14.7 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. The average vowel-to-consonant ratio here is 0.34, which affects how easily you can form these words from a random seven-tile rack.

Strategy & study tips
Premium letters drive the top of this list. Prioritise words with Q, X, Z, J, or K when double- and triple-letter squares are open — raw tile value here often exceeds 15 points before multipliers. About 9% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
