About this word list
At 390 words, this list covers common playable words alongside lesser-known entries accepted in competitive Scrabble. Among these entries, 200 contain rare tiles that can dramatically boost your score when played on double- or triple-letter squares. Watch for recurring suffixes like -TE, -ED, -NG, -ITE when planning hooks and parallel plays. Top scorer: krzysztof (37 pts). Average Scrabble value across the list is 19.9 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 0.34, 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 100% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
