Looking for five-letter words containing both F and N? You are in the right place. This list has 91 of them, sorted so the familiar words such as FANCY and FLOWN 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

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

The list puts common words first for a reason: they are the ones an opponent is least likely to challenge and the ones you will remember next time. When two plays score about the same, prefer the common word. Save the rare entries for situations where they are clearly better, such as a triple-word square that only an obscure word can reach. If you are learning vocabulary or solving a puzzle for a newspaper, stick to the very common words marked with a dot; they are the ones the setter almost certainly had in mind.
