Every word in this list has four letters and start with B. We count 251 of them, with 185 in common use.

How to use this page
The quickest route to an answer is the search box: enter your letters, use a question mark for a blank, and the list shrinks to the playable words. If you would rather browse, the chips below are sorted with common words first, and the related links lead to neighbouring lists for other letters and lengths.
Tips
A blank tile is the most powerful piece on your rack because it stands in for any letter. When you search this list with a blank, the tool underlines the letter the blank replaced so you know which tile to lay down. Spend a blank only when it unlocks a long word or a premium square; using it for a three-letter play is almost always a waste. If you hold two blanks, look for a word from this list that needs both, because a seven-tile play with the bonus outscores nearly everything else.
Questions
Which four-letter words starting with B are the most common?
BACK, BANK and BODY 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 four-letter words starting with B you can actually spell from that rack, with scores.
