Every word in this list has five letters and start with the letters RO. We count 76 of them, with 52 in common use. The score shown on each chip uses classic tile values, so ROCKY at 14 points is the one to remember when a premium square is open. Words with their own page, such as ROUGH, link through to a full breakdown of the shorter words hidden inside them.

How to use this page

Type your letters into the box at the top, including a question mark for any blank, and press search to filter this list to the words you can spell. Or read the list as it is: common words come first, scores are shown on each chip, and any word with a link has its own page of sub-words and anagrams.

Tips

Every score badge on this page is the sum of the tile values in the word, with no board multipliers applied. Classic tiles value the common letters at one point and the awkward letters higher, up to ten for Q and Z. Blank tiles score nothing. The actual points you earn depend on where the word lands, so a modest word on a double-word square beats a high-value word on plain squares. Use the badges to compare words quickly, then check the board for the multiplier that changes the picture.
