About this word list
At 682 words, this list covers common playable words alongside lesser-known entries accepted in competitive Scrabble. High-value letter density matters: roughly 25 results here include at least one premium tile worth 8–10 points on its own. Common endings in this list include -SS, -IP, -AE, -ESS — patterns that let you extend words already on the board. The highest-scoring word shown is vietnamization at 28 points; the longest is acetnaphthalide (15 letters). While Wordle uses a smaller answer list, studying broader dictionary patterns here helps you eliminate impossible guesses faster. 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 0.33, 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 13% 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 19.2 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight. Anchor words: highest scorer VIETNAMIZATION, longest ACETNAPHTHALIDE. Build mnemonics around those two before expanding into the full 682 matches.
