About this word list
Our dictionary returns 726 matches — a deep pool for anagram practice, crossword solving, and vocabulary building. Watch for recurring suffixes like -SS, -LY, -UL, -ESS when planning hooks and parallel plays. Top scorer: prethoughtfully (30 pts). Average Scrabble value across the list is 20.8 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 0.31, 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 4% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
Average Scrabble value here is 20.8 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight. Anchor words: highest scorer PRETHOUGHTFULLY, longest PRETHOUGHTFULLY. Build mnemonics around those two before expanding into the full 726 matches.
