About this word list
At 142 words, this list covers common playable words alongside lesser-known entries accepted in competitive Scrabble. Scrabble players will notice 24 words carrying Q, X, Z, J, or K — letters that separate casual players from competitive ones. Watch for recurring suffixes like -NG, -CK, -ER, -ING when planning hooks and parallel plays. Top scorer: whipcracker (27 pts). Average Scrabble value across the list is 15.1 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 0.33, this list skews consonant-heavy — keep extra vowels on your rack when targeting these words.
