There are 188 five-letter words containing both H and U, and 105 of them are words you would expect to see in everyday writing. The rest are technical terms, plurals, variant spellings and the odd loanword, all of which are legal in most tile games. The highest-scoring entry is HUZZA at 26 points. Scan the common words first, then dip into the rare ones when the board leaves you no other option.
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
If you know some letters of a word and their positions, a pattern search finds it faster than scanning a list. Open the word finder, type the word with question marks for the unknown letters, and every match appears immediately. You can combine a pattern with the starts-with and ends-with filters to narrow the set further. This works for crosswords, for daily five-letter puzzles and for any tile game where a board word gives you two or three fixed letters.
