The eight-letter words that contain the letter K number 2,611 in our dictionary. About 1,060 of them are common, which is the group most players will recognise on sight, and the remainder are rarer words that still count in the majority of games. The list is complete, computed from the full word list rather than typed by hand, so you can trust that nothing is missing. The best scorer is JAZZLIKE, at 37 points.
How to use this page
This page works as both a reference and a tool. As a reference, it lists every word that contain the letter K, 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
A word list is also a study tool. Reading through the eight-letter words containing K once or twice is enough to make the unusual ones familiar, and familiarity is what lets you spot a play under time pressure. Try covering the list and writing down as many as you can, then compare. Use the definitions on this page to attach meaning to the words you did not know, since a word with a meaning sticks far better than a string of letters. Return to the list after a few days and repeat.
Questions
What is the highest-scoring word among the eight-letter words containing K?
JAZZLIKE scores 37 points with classic tile values, ignoring board multipliers. The full top ten is in the quick facts above; switch the tile set on the search tool if you play with different letter values.
Why are some of these words unfamiliar?
1,551 of the 2,611 words on this page are tagged rare, meaning they fall outside the usual spell-check vocabulary. They are still real words, and many are legal plays, but you should expect a challenge if someone asks you to define them.
