How to use this page
Start by scanning the common words at the top; they are the ones most likely to be accepted and remembered. Then check the quick facts for the highest-scoring options. If you have a rack in front of you, the search box applies this page's constraint to your letters and returns only what you can play.
Tips
A word list is also a study tool. Reading through the five-letter words containing both E and K 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.
