This hub collects 90,551 words containing A of all lengths. Because a two-letter word and a fifteen-letter word serve very different purposes, the page shows the common words first and then breaks the full set down by length, one link per size. Words such as QUALIFYING, STRAIGHTFORWARD and COMPARATIVELY are typical of the everyday end of the list; the rarer end includes long technical terms that mostly matter for crosswords.
How to use this page
Choose a length to see every word of that size, or search your letters to see only what you can spell. The words below are the most common ones across all lengths.
Tips
Hooks are single letters added to the front or back of an existing word to make a new one, and they are the cheapest way to score in a crowded game. Look through the words on this page for ones that become a different valid word with one more letter, or that can be formed by extending a shorter word already on the board. Suffixes such as S, ED, ER and ING, and prefixes such as RE and UN, do most of the work. A hook lets you play a second word in parallel and collect both scores.
Questions
What are the longest words containing A?
The longest entries in our dictionary are STRAIGHTFORWARD, EXPERIMENTATION, EXTRAORDINARILY, GENERALIZATIONS and CHARACTERISTICS. The shortest are AM, AN, AS, AT and AX. Use the length index on this page to open the complete list for any size in between.
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 words containing A you can actually spell from that rack, with scores.
