Why six-letter words matter

Six-letter words sit in the sweet spot between flexibility and score. They are long enough to reach a premium square from most positions, and short enough that you will usually have the tiles to build one.

The list above is ranked by how common each word is in written English rather than alphabetically, using corpus frequency data. That means the words most likely to be accepted without an argument, and most likely to be useful, appear first.

Finding six-letter words from your own letters

Browsing a full list is useful for study, but during a game you need the intersection of the list and your rack. Enter your tiles into the finder above and set the length to 6; the results are every six-letter word your letters can actually build, ordered by points. Add a starting or ending letter if you are playing off a tile already on the board.
