About this word list
With 622 valid entries, this is one of the larger curated lists on unscrambletools.com, sorted by length and Scrabble score for quick scanning. Among these entries, 62 contain rare tiles that can dramatically boost your score when played on double- or triple-letter squares. Suffix patterns such as -ED, -LY, -ER, -BED appear frequently here and are high-yield targets in both Scrabble and Words with Friends. For quick wins, prioritise nozzle (24 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 11.8 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. The average vowel-to-consonant ratio here is 0.35, which affects how easily you can form these words from a random seven-tile rack.

Strategy & study tips
Large lists pair well with the Pattern Finder: add exclusions or second constraints to carve study-sized subsets from the full dictionary count. About 31% 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.

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 622 words matching this pattern. The average length is 6 letters and the average Scrabble score is 11.8 points. The highest-scoring entry shown is nozzle (24 pts).
- Are there high-scoring words in this list?
- 62 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.
- Are these valid Scrabble words?
- Yes. Results are drawn from a standard English word list that aligns closely with the official Scrabble dictionary. All displayed words are accepted in competitive Scrabble play.
- 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.
- 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.
- How many words are in the dictionary?
- The dictionary contains over 350 000 English words, covering everything from common 2-letter words to rare 15-letter entries, with proper nouns and abbreviations excluded.
- Is this tool free to use?
- Yes. All word lists and search tools on unscrambletools.com are completely free with no registration required.
