Why PER words matter

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

This list by the numbers

The shape of this list: 3170 entries between 3 and 15 letters long, peaking at 11 letters with 453 words. Five-letter picks number 38 and seven-letter picks 262. Nothing here outscores HYPERCIVILIZED — 37 points from 14 tiles on plain squares.

For quick reference, the top of the score table reads: HYPERCIVILIZED (37), HYPERIMMUNIZING (37), HYPERIMMUNIZED (36), HYPERIMMUNIZES (35), HYPERPOLARIZING (35). The longest entry is ANTIPERSPIRANTS at 15 letters, and the average word here is worth about 17 points. Letter-wise, R is the workhorse — it appears in 3170 of these words, ahead of E (3170) and P (3170).

Start with these three

ASPERS is easy to keep in memory: 6 letters, 8 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.
Playing ELOPER across a double-word square turns its base 8 points into 16 — solid value for 6 tiles.
LEAPER earns 8 points from just 6 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.

Round out your set with LEPERS (8), LISPER (8), LOOPER (8), LOPERS (8), OPERAS (8) — all built from common tiles.

PER as a vocabulary shortcut

Letter chunks like PER 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.
