Every word in this list has five letters and contain both A and N. We count 723 of them, with 373 in common use. The score shown on each chip uses classic tile values, so ZANZA at 23 points is the one to remember when a premium square is open. Words with their own page, such as FANCY, 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
Most of the time you are not building a word in empty space but playing through a letter already on the board. That is where a list like this one earns its keep. Find the letter you need to play through, then filter these words with the contains box so only the ones with that letter remain. The best plays are usually the ones where the board letter sits in the middle of your word, because that leaves both ends free for future hooks and keeps the premium squares within reach.
Questions
Which five-letter words containing both A and N are the most common?
FANCY, HANDY and THANK 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 five-letter words containing both A and N you can actually spell from that rack, with scores.
