About this word list
Our dictionary returns 6,618 matches — a deep pool for anagram practice, crossword solving, and vocabulary building. Among these entries, 23 contain rare tiles that can dramatically boost your score when played on double- or triple-letter squares. Watch for recurring suffixes like -HY, -IC, -LY, -PHY when planning hooks and parallel plays. Top scorer: photoxylography (39 pts). Average Scrabble value across the list is 28.4 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. The average vowel-to-consonant ratio here is 0.35, which affects how easily you can form these words from a random seven-tile rack.

Strategy & study tips
A deep result pool supports spaced repetition — study one length bucket per day rather than cramming the full scroll in a single sitting. About 12% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
Review related searches at the bottom of this page to hop between adjacent patterns without competing URLs in search results. Average Scrabble value here is 28.4 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight.
