About this word list
Our dictionary returns 6,751 matches — a deep pool for anagram practice, crossword solving, and vocabulary building. Among these entries, 168 contain rare tiles that can dramatically boost your score when played on double- or triple-letter squares. Common endings in this list include -LY, -IC, -ED, -ZED — patterns that let you extend words already on the board. For quick wins, prioritise azoxybenzoic (44 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. The average vowel-to-consonant ratio here is 0.31, 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 84% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
Average Scrabble value here is 31.7 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight.

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 6,751 words matching this pattern. The average length is 12 letters and the average Scrabble score is 31.7 points. The highest-scoring entry shown is azoxybenzoic (44 pts).
- Are there high-scoring words in this list?
- 168 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 Y?
- Use the Pattern Finder with length set to 12 and "exclude letters" set to Y to see words of that length that do not contain the letter.
- 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.

- 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.
