About this word list

High-value letter density matters: roughly 11 results here include at least one premium tile worth 8–10 points on its own.

For quick wins, prioritise ultraorthodoxy (28 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 16.9 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers.
