Why LU words matter

Words containing LU are handy for Scrabble, Words with Friends and word puzzles — filter the list above by length to find the play you need.

What the numbers say

The shape of this list: 2939 entries between 3 and 15 letters long, peaking at 8 letters with 510 words. Five-letter picks number 132 and seven-letter picks 397. Nothing here outscores METHOXYFLURANES — 33 points from 15 tiles on plain squares.

Chasing points? The best five entries here are METHOXYFLURANES (33), METHOXYFLURANE (32), FLUPHENAZINES (30), FLUPHENAZINE (29), HYDROCEPHALUSES (29). The longest entry is AGGLUTINABILITY at 15 letters, and the average word here is worth about 14 points. The most useful tiles to hold for this list are L, U and E, which appear in 2939, 2939 and 1903 of the words respectively.

Three easy picks from this list

Playing ULU across a double-word square turns its base 3 points into 6 — solid value for 3 tiles.
When the rack looks hopeless, LUAU (4 letters, 4 points) is the kind of quiet play that keeps a game moving.
LUES earns 4 points from just 4 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.

Once those stick, file away the next tier too: LULL (4), LULU (4), LUNA (4), LUNE (4), LUNT (4).

One chunk, many words: LU

Letter chunks like LU are how vocabulary compounds: learn the pattern once and every word built on it gets easier to recall and to spell. Read down this list and you will see the same rhythm repeat across lengths — that repetition is exactly what makes these words stick for spelling bees, ESL study and crossword pattern-matching alike.
