About this word list
Our dictionary returns 391 matches — a deep pool for anagram practice, crossword solving, and vocabulary building. Among these entries, 11 contain rare tiles that can dramatically boost your score when played on double- or triple-letter squares. Suffix patterns such as -NG, -OF, -ED, -ING appear frequently here and are high-yield targets in both Scrabble and Words with Friends. For quick wins, prioritise postparoxysmal (30 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 17.7 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. The average vowel-to-consonant ratio here is 0.37, 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 6% 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 17.7 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight. Anchor words: highest scorer POSTPAROXYSMAL, longest PUNISHMENTPROOF. Build mnemonics around those two before expanding into the full 391 matches.
