About this word list
Our dictionary returns 119 matches — a deep pool for anagram practice, crossword solving, and vocabulary building. Among these entries, 8 contain rare tiles that can dramatically boost your score when played on double- or triple-letter squares. Suffix patterns such as -TE, -ON, -AN, -ION appear frequently here and are high-yield targets in both Scrabble and Words with Friends. For quick wins, prioritise svarabhaktic (26 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 15 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
Consonant-heavy results reward players who keep extra vowels on the rack. Before forcing one of these words, check whether a simpler vowel play opens a bingo lane next turn. About 7% 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 15 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight. Internal links point to Pattern Finder, Crossword Solver, Anagram Solver, and Wordle Solver — each tool adds interactivity this static list intentionally omits.
