Words that end in S come up constantly in tile games, crosswords and daily letter puzzles, and this page gathers all 8,195 of the ten-letter ones. The most useful are the common words at the top of the list; the rare ones at the bottom are worth knowing when you need to hook onto an awkward board position. WHIZZBANGS is the top scorer here, worth 37 points before any board multiplier.
How to use this page
Read the list from the top if you want the everyday words, or jump to the quick facts for the highest scorers. Click any word with a link to see every shorter word hidden inside it. When you have a specific rack, the search box at the top filters the list down to the words you can play right now.
Tips
The list puts common words first for a reason: they are the ones an opponent is least likely to challenge and the ones you will remember next time. When two plays score about the same, prefer the common word. Save the rare entries for situations where they are clearly better, such as a triple-word square that only an obscure word can reach. If you are learning vocabulary or solving a puzzle for a newspaper, stick to the very common words marked with a dot; they are the ones the setter almost certainly had in mind.
Questions
