Why PS words matter

Words containing PS 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

A few numbers before you scroll: the 1830 words here run from 3 to 15 letters, with 8-letter words the largest group (309 entries). Wordle players have 145 five-letter options, and there are 232 seven-letter candidates for a Scrabble bingo. The single best scorer is PSYCHOANALYZING at 38 points before multipliers.

Chasing points? The best five entries here are PSYCHOANALYZING (38), PSYCHOANALYZED (37), PSYCHOANALYZES (36), PSYCHOBIOGRAPHY (36), PSYCHOANALYZE (35). The longest entry is ACCOUNTANTSHIPS at 15 letters, and the average word here is worth about 16 points. The most useful tiles to hold for this list are S, P and I, which appear in 1830, 1830 and 966 of the words respectively.

Start with these three

ELAPSE — a 6-letter, 8-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.
ESTOPS earns 8 points from just 6 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.
When the rack looks hopeless, LAPSER (6 letters, 8 points) is the kind of quiet play that keeps a game moving.

Once those stick, file away the next tier too: LAPSES (8), LAPSUS (8), LETUPS (8), NETOPS (8), OPSINS (8).

Learning words through PS

If you are studying English, PS is a high-leverage chunk: instead of memorising each word cold, anchor the PS pattern and let the surrounding letters vary. Word-game players get a parallel benefit — when a crossword grid or a Wordle guess reveals the PS sequence, this page is the complete candidate pool, already sorted by Scrabble value.
