Looking for five-letter words containing both H and P? You are in the right place. This list has 133 of them, sorted so the familiar words such as HAPPY and CHEAP 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

Begin with the search box if you are mid-game: your letters, plus question marks for blanks, produce the playable words instantly. Begin with the list if you are studying: the common words are at the top, the definitions section explains the most useful ones, and the quick facts show the top scorers.

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.
