Words with their own page, such as FIGHT, link through to a full breakdown of the shorter words hidden inside them.
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 G and H, 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
Hooks are single letters added to the front or back of an existing word to make a new one, and they are the cheapest way to score in a crowded game. Look through the words on this page for ones that become a different valid word with one more letter, or that can be formed by extending a shorter word already on the board. Suffixes such as S, ED, ER and ING, and prefixes such as RE and UN, do most of the work. A hook lets you play a second word in parallel and collect both scores.
Questions
Which five-letter words containing both G and H are the most common?
FIGHT, GRAPH and MIGHT 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 G and H you can actually spell from that rack, with scores.
