Looking for three-letter words containing E? You are in the right place. This list has 245 of them, sorted so the familiar words such as KEY and SEX appear before the obscure ones. Every entry is a real dictionary word, and every score badge is computed from standard tile values. Use the filters in the search box to keep only the words that also fit the other letters on your rack or the pattern in your puzzle.
How to use this page
Begin with the search box if you are mid-game: your letters, plus question marks for blanks, produce the playable words instantly. Begin with the list if you are studying: the common words are at the top, the definitions section explains the most useful ones, and the quick facts show the top scorers.
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.
