About this word list
Our dictionary returns 425 matches — a deep pool for anagram practice, crossword solving, and vocabulary building. High-value letter density matters: roughly 200 results here include at least one premium tile worth 8–10 points on its own. Suffix patterns such as -TE, -ES, -ER, -ITE appear frequently here and are high-yield targets in both Scrabble and Words with Friends. Shared prefixes like KO, KOL, KOR, KOO cluster in this list — useful when you need to open a specific row or column. For quick wins, prioritise kolkhoznik (34 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 17.9 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. With a vowel ratio of 0.41, this list skews consonant-heavy — keep extra vowels on your rack when targeting these words.
