Words that contain both A and R come up constantly in tile games, crosswords and daily letter puzzles, and this page gathers all 1,098 of the five-letter ones.

CRAZY is the top scorer here, worth 19 points before any board multiplier.
How to use this page
This page works as both a reference and a tool. As a reference, it lists every word that contain both A and R, sorted by familiarity. As a tool, it accepts your own letters in the search box and returns the subset you can play, with scores. The related links at the end cover neighbouring 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.
