About this word list
Our dictionary returns 1,280 matches — a deep pool for anagram practice, crossword solving, and vocabulary building. Among these entries, 90 contain rare tiles that can dramatically boost your score when played on double- or triple-letter squares. Common endings in this list include -IC, -NG, -ED, -ING — patterns that let you extend words already on the board. For quick wins, prioritise nephropexy (27 pts) — they lead this list on raw tile value. While Wordle uses a smaller answer list, studying broader dictionary patterns here helps you eliminate impossible guesses faster. In tournament Scrabble, knowing word counts and score distributions for common patterns saves seconds per turn — seconds that add up over 30+ games. With a vowel ratio of 0.35, this list skews consonant-heavy — keep extra vowels on your rack when targeting these words.

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 45% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
Prefix-locked length lists train slot-filling for crosswords and Wordle. Start with the highest-scoring opener, then drill hooks that add one letter before the prefix. Anchor words: highest scorer NEPHROPEXY, longest NEPHROPEXY. Build mnemonics around those two before expanding into the full 1,280 matches. Average Scrabble value here is 19.8 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight.

Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from “words starting with”?
- The general starting-with hub includes every length. This page locks word size (e.g. only 5-letter words starting with S), which matches Wordle and crossword slots more closely.
- How many words match this pattern?
- Our dictionary contains 1,280 words matching this pattern. The average length is 10 letters and the average Scrabble score is 19.8 points. The highest-scoring entry shown is nephropexy (27 pts).
- Are there high-scoring words in this list?
- 90 words in this sample include premium letters (Q, X, Z, J, or K). These are strong candidates for double- and triple-letter square plays in Scrabble.
- Is this page useful for Wordle?
- Yes. Wordle uses 5-letter words, so length-filtered lists and pattern pages help you validate guesses and build a mental dictionary of allowed combinations before you play.

- Most Scrabble-valid words are also legal in Words with Friends. The two games use slightly different word lists, but the overlap is large. Use this list as a solid starting point for either game.
- How are the point scores calculated?
- Scores are the raw sum of standard Scrabble letter values (A=1, B=3, C=3, D=2 … Z=10) without board multipliers. Higher-scoring words contain rarer letters like Q, X, or Z.
- Can I combine multiple pattern filters?
- Yes. Use the Pattern Finder to combine starts-with, ends-with, contains, exact length, include letters, and exclude letters in a single search — the same engine that powers these curated lists.
