About this word list
Our dictionary returns 912 matches — a deep pool for anagram practice, crossword solving, and vocabulary building. This list includes 107 words with high-value letters like Q, X, or Z — prime targets for premium squares on a Scrabble board. Watch for recurring suffixes like -MP, -PY, -PS, -UMP when planning hooks and parallel plays. Top scorer: pizz (24 pts). Average Scrabble value across the list is 11.5 points per word. Wordle players can use this list to build a mental model of valid pattern words before guessing — especially when narrowing by known greens and yellows. In tournament Scrabble, knowing word counts and score distributions for common patterns saves seconds per turn — seconds that add up over 30+ games. The average vowel-to-consonant ratio here is 0.27, which affects how easily you can form these words from a random seven-tile rack.

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 54% 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. Average Scrabble value here is 11.5 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight.
