Definitions

Here is the complete list of five-letter words starting with B and ending in S: 187 words in total. We sort common words to the top because they are the ones you are most likely to be looking for, whether you are solving a puzzle or checking a play. Words such as BOXES and BACKS lead the way. If you need something more specific, the search box accepts your own letters with question marks for blanks and applies this page's constraint automatically.

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

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

Why are some of these words unfamiliar?
