Every word in this list has eight letters and contain the letter Y. We count 3,380 of them, with 1,390 in common use. The score shown on each chip uses classic tile values, so ZYZZYVAS at 44 points is the one to remember when a premium square is open. Words with their own page, such as MAJORITY, link through to a full breakdown of the shorter words hidden inside them.
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 Y, 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.
Questions
Which eight-letter words containing Y are the most common?
MAJORITY, QUANTITY and KEYBOARD 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 eight-letter words containing Y you can actually spell from that rack, with scores.
