About this word list
At 1,292 words, this list covers common playable words alongside lesser-known entries accepted in competitive Scrabble. Among these entries, 26 contain rare tiles that can dramatically boost your score when played on double- or triple-letter squares. Watch for recurring suffixes like -IP, -PS, -ED, -HIP when planning hooks and parallel plays. For quick wins, prioritise executrixship (34 pts) — they lead this list on raw tile value. 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. Competitive Scrabble strategy relies on pattern recognition. Lists like this train your brain to spot playable words under time pressure. 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.
