Type THISTLE into a word game and you have 93 options. The list below shows all of them, sorted by length and then by score, with the very common words marked by a dot. LITHEST scores 10 points, the most of any word on the page. The search box keeps the same letters, so you can add a blank with a question mark or swap a tile to see how the possibilities change.

How to use this page

Start at the top for the longest and highest-scoring words, work down for shorter plays, and use the search box to test variations with a blank or a different letter.

Tips

Many of the words on this page differ from each other by a single letter at the front or back. Those hooks are the cheapest plays in the game: you lay down one tile, extend an existing word, and score both the new word and anything you formed in parallel. Look at the shorter words in this list and ask which one-letter additions turn them into the longer ones. S, D, E and R at the end and A, S and B at the front do most of the work.

Questions

Which of these words are the most common?

Are all of these words valid in word games?

They are all in the ENABLE list, which most word-game helpers use, but each game has its own dictionary. Check any unfamiliar word against the rules of the game you are playing.
