All words containing B, whatever their length, are indexed here. We count 25,759 of them, led in everyday usage by words such as COMPATIBILITY and BACKWARDS, and in points by OXYPHENBUTAZONE at 41. The length links below open the complete lists, from two-letter words to fifteen-letter ones, and every list is computed from the same dictionary so the counts add up.

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

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.

Questions

Which words containing B are the most common?

COMPATIBILITY, BACKWARDS and EVERYBODY 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.

Are all of these words valid in word games?

They are all in the ENABLE list, which most word-game helpers use, but each game publishes its own dictionary. Check any unfamiliar word against the rules of the game you are playing before you rely on it.
