Why WOOD words matter

Words containing WOOD 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 265 words here run from 4 to 13 letters, with 9-letter words the largest group (73 entries). Wordle players have 2 five-letter options, and there are 26 seven-letter candidates for a Scrabble bingo. The single best scorer is BACKWOODSMAN at 26 points before multipliers.

The five biggest scorers on the page: BACKWOODSMAN (26), BACKWOODSMEN (26), BRAZILWOODS (26), BACKWOODSY (25), BRAZILWOOD (25). At 13 letters, SOUTHERNWOODS is the longest word on the list; a typical entry scores around 17. The most useful tiles to hold for this list are W, D and O, which appear in 265, 265 and 265 of the words respectively.

Start with these three

WOODEN is easy to keep in memory: 6 letters, 10 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.
Playing WOODIE across a double-word square turns its base 10 points into 20 — solid value for 6 tiles.
WOODS — a 5-letter, 9-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.

Once those stick, file away the next tier too: WOODED (11), WOOD (8), WOODSY (13), WOODY (12), WOODENNESSES (16).
