Every word in this list has twelve letters and end in A. We count 74 of them, with 9 in common use. The score shown on each chip uses classic tile values, so EXTRAVAGANZA at 32 points is the one to remember when a premium square is open. Words with their own page, such as HYPOCHONDRIA, link through to a full breakdown of the shorter words hidden inside them.
How to use this page
This page works as both a reference and a tool. As a reference, it lists every word that end in A, sorted by familiarity. As a tool, it accepts your own letters in the search box and returns the subset you can play, with scores. The related links at the end cover neighbouring letters and lengths.
Tips
A balanced rack has roughly three vowels and four consonants, and a lopsided rack is the most common reason players get stuck. If you are drowning in vowels, look for the words on this page with the most vowels and use them to reset. If you have too many consonants, a word with a single vowel will do the same job. When you cannot find a decent play, it is often better to swap tiles or play a short word that dumps the surplus than to force a poor score and keep the bad rack.
Questions
Which twelve-letter words ending in A are the most common?
HYPOCHONDRIA, ENCYCLOPEDIA and ONOMATOPOEIA are among the most familiar. The list is sorted with everyday words first, and the very common ones carry a small dot, so you can read the top of the page and skip the obscure entries at the bottom.
Can I search this list with my own letters?
Yes. Type your letters into the search box at the top of the page, using a question mark for a blank, and the tool will show only the twelve-letter words ending in A you can actually spell from that rack, with scores.
