This page lists every one of the 220 five-letter words containing both G and U in our dictionary. Each word links to its own unscramble page when one exists, and the score badge shows its value with classic tiles. Common words come first, so JUDGE, OUGHT and ROUGH sit near the top while the rare entries wait further down. If you are holding a specific rack, type it into the search box and the list narrows to the words you can actually play.
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 U, 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
Every score badge on this page is the sum of the tile values in the word, with no board multipliers applied. Classic tiles value the common letters at one point and the awkward letters higher, up to ten for Q and Z. Blank tiles score nothing. The actual points you earn depend on where the word lands, so a modest word on a double-word square beats a high-value word on plain squares. Use the badges to compare words quickly, then check the board for the multiplier that changes the picture.
