About this word list
Our dictionary returns 67 matches — a deep pool for anagram practice, crossword solving, and vocabulary building. High-value letter density matters: roughly 67 results here include at least one premium tile worth 8–10 points on its own. Suffix patterns such as -NG, -JE, -ED, -ING appear frequently here and are high-yield targets in both Scrabble and Words with Friends. For quick wins, prioritise outjazz (32 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 19.3 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. The average vowel-to-consonant ratio here is 0.38, 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.
Average Scrabble value here is 19.3 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight. Anchor words: highest scorer OUTJAZZ, longest STRAIGHTJACKET. Build mnemonics around those two before expanding into the full 67 matches.
