The nine-letter words that start with G number 750 in our dictionary. About 313 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 GRIZZLING, at 29 points.

How to use this page

To use this page, start with the search box. Type the letters on your rack, add a question mark for each blank, and press search. The tool keeps this page's constraint and returns only the words you can spell. Below the box, the full list is arranged with common words first, followed by the quick facts, definitions and related lists.

Tips

The list puts common words first for a reason: they are the ones an opponent is least likely to challenge and the ones you will remember next time. When two plays score about the same, prefer the common word. Save the rare entries for situations where they are clearly better, such as a triple-word square that only an obscure word can reach. If you are learning vocabulary or solving a puzzle for a newspaper, stick to the very common words marked with a dot; they are the ones the setter almost certainly had in mind.
