Common endings in this list include -AK, -KE, -LK, -ACK — patterns that let you extend words already on the board. The highest-scoring word shown is zak at 16 points. While Wordle uses a smaller answer list, studying broader dictionary patterns here helps you eliminate impossible guesses faster. 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.

Premium letters drive the top of this list. Prioritise words with Q, X, Z, J, or K when double- and triple-letter squares are open — raw tile value here often exceeds 15 points before multipliers. About 100% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
Combine this static list with Pattern Finder exclusions when you know a letter cannot appear in the word.
