About this word list
At 868 words, this list covers common playable words alongside lesser-known entries accepted in competitive Scrabble. High-value letter density matters: roughly 96 results here include at least one premium tile worth 8–10 points on its own. Suffix patterns such as -NG, -ER, -LY, -ING appear frequently here and are high-yield targets in both Scrabble and Words with Friends. Top scorer: hollywoodize (31 pts). Average Scrabble value across the list is 25.3 points per word. Daily Wordle solvers benefit from lists like this when a letter pattern repeats across puzzles; knowing valid words in advance reduces wasted guesses. Competitive Scrabble strategy relies on pattern recognition. Lists like this train your brain to spot playable words under time pressure. The average vowel-to-consonant ratio here is 0.32, which affects how easily you can form these words from a random seven-tile rack.

Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from a general length list?
- This page filters by both exact word length and a required letter. For example, 5-letter words with Q excludes 4- and 6-letter entries, giving you a tighter list for Wordle-style constraints or rack-specific study.
- How many words match this pattern?
- Our dictionary contains 868 words matching this pattern. The average length is 12 letters and the average Scrabble score is 25.3 points. The highest-scoring entry shown is hollywoodize (31 pts).
- Are there high-scoring words in this list?
- 96 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.
- Can I find 12-letter words without W?
- Use the Pattern Finder with length set to 12 and "exclude letters" set to W to see words of that length that do not contain the letter.
- Is this page useful for Wordle?

- Can I use these words in Words with Friends?
- 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.

- 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.
