Looking for five-letter words containing both A and E? You are in the right place. This list has 1,250 of them, sorted so the familiar words such as EQUAL and EXACT appear before the obscure ones.

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
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
A word list is also a study tool. Reading through the five-letter words containing both A and E once or twice is enough to make the unusual ones familiar, and familiarity is what lets you spot a play under time pressure. Try covering the list and writing down as many as you can, then compare. Use the definitions on this page to attach meaning to the words you did not know, since a word with a meaning sticks far better than a string of letters. Return to the list after a few days and repeat.
