Words that end in S come up constantly in tile games, crosswords and daily letter puzzles, and this page gathers all 10,253 of the nine-letter ones. The most useful are the common words at the top of the list; the rare ones at the bottom are worth knowing when you need to hook onto an awkward board position. JAZZINESS is the top scorer here, worth 34 points before any board multiplier.
How to use this page
This page works as both a reference and a tool. As a reference, it lists every word that end in S, 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 blank tile is the most powerful piece on your rack because it stands in for any letter. When you search this list with a blank, the tool underlines the letter the blank replaced so you know which tile to lay down. Spend a blank only when it unlocks a long word or a premium square; using it for a three-letter play is almost always a waste. If you hold two blanks, look for a word from this list that needs both, because a seven-tile play with the bonus outscores nearly everything else.
Questions
What is the highest-scoring word among the nine-letter words ending in S?
JAZZINESS scores 34 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?
6,613 of the 10,253 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.
