What the numbers say

A few numbers before you scroll: the 1041 words here run from 2 to 15 letters, with 8-letter words the largest group (174 entries). Wordle players have 96 five-letter options, and there are 166 seven-letter candidates for a Scrabble bingo. The single best scorer is DOLICHOCEPHALIC at 30 points before multipliers.

For quick reference, the top of the score table reads: DOLICHOCEPHALIC (30), DOLICHOCEPHALY (30), DOXYCYCLINES (30), DOXYCYCLINE (29), DOGMATIZATIONS (27). At 15 letters, DOCUMENTATIONAL is the longest word on the list; a typical entry scores around 13.

Three easy picks from this list

DOLLAR is easy to keep in memory: 6 letters, 7 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.
When the rack looks hopeless, DOLORS (6 letters, 7 points) is the kind of quiet play that keeps a game moving.
DOLOUR earns 7 points from just 6 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.

Once those stick, file away the next tier too: DONATE (7), DONEES (7), DONNAS (7), DONNEE (7), DONORS (7).
