Playing words that start with BL

Leading with BL lets you hook onto open columns and reach premium squares. Scan the high-scoring entries above first — they offer the best return when you have the tiles.

What the numbers say

The shape of this list: 908 entries between 4 and 15 letters long, peaking at 8 letters with 194 words. Five-letter picks number 64 and seven-letter picks 122. Nothing here outscores BLACKJACKING — 34 points from 12 tiles on plain squares.

The five biggest scorers on the page: BLACKJACKING (34), BLIZZARDLY (34), BLACKJACKED (33), BLIZZARDY (33), BLACKJACKS (31). At 15 letters, BLAMELESSNESSES is the longest word on the list; a typical entry scores around 15. The most useful tiles to hold for this list are L, B and E, which appear in 908, 908 and 600 of the words respectively.

Three words worth learning first

BLAINS is easy to keep in memory: 6 letters, 8 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.
When the rack looks hopeless, BLARES (6 letters, 8 points) is the kind of quiet play that keeps a game moving.
BLASTS earns 8 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: BLEARS (8), BLEATS (8), BLINIS (8), BLITES (8), BLOATS (8).

BL as a vocabulary shortcut

Groups like this one reward a different kind of practice: pick five words of different lengths from the list above, write each in a sentence, and the BL pattern moves into long-term memory. It is also a quiet Scrabble edge — racks that spell BL plus common tiles come up constantly, and prepared players cash them in while others shuffle letters.
