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
Most of the time you are not building a word in empty space but playing through a letter already on the board. That is where a list like this one earns its keep. Find the letter you need to play through, then filter these words with the contains box so only the ones with that letter remain. The best plays are usually the ones where the board letter sits in the middle of your word, because that leaves both ends free for future hooks and keeps the premium squares within reach.
Questions
Which five-letter words containing both H and S are the most common?
CHIPS, FLASH and FRESH 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 H and S you can actually spell from that rack, with scores.
