About this word list
At 440 words, this list covers common playable words alongside lesser-known entries accepted in competitive Scrabble.

Notice how many words begin with JE, JER, JES, JEL — memorising these clusters speeds up in-game word retrieval. Top scorer: jeewhillijers (33 pts). Average Scrabble value across the list is 21.7 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.
