Looking for five-letter words containing both B and R? You are in the right place. This list has 297 of them, sorted so the familiar words such as BREAK and BROKE appear before the obscure ones. Every entry is a real dictionary word, and every score badge is computed from standard tile values. 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

Use this list in two ways. Browse it to learn the words that contain both B and R, common ones first, or search it by typing your own letters, with question marks for blanks, to see only the words you can make. Every word shows its classic tile score, and linked words open a page with all their sub-words.

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.

Questions

Which five-letter words containing both B and R are the most common?

BREAK, BROKE and BRIEF 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 B and R you can actually spell from that rack, with scores.
