Playing words that start with PRO

Leading with PRO 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.

A quick statistical tour

The shape of this list: 1394 entries between 3 and 15 letters long, peaking at 10 letters with 238 words. Five-letter picks number 23 and seven-letter picks 105. Nothing here outscores PROPOXYPHENES — 32 points from 13 tiles on plain squares.

Chasing points? The best five entries here are PROPOXYPHENES (32), PROVINCIALIZING (32), PROPOXYPHENE (31), PROVINCIALIZED (31), PROPAGANDIZING (30). At 15 letters, PROBLEMATICALLY is the longest word on the list; a typical entry scores around 16. The most useful tiles to hold for this list are R, O and P, which appear in 1394, 1394 and 1394 of the words respectively.

Three easy picks from this list

Playing PROLAN across a double-word square turns its base 8 points into 16 — solid value for 6 tiles.
PROLES is easy to keep in memory: 6 letters, 8 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.
When the rack looks hopeless, PRONTO (6 letters, 8 points) is the kind of quiet play that keeps a game moving.

Round out your set with PROSER (8), PROSES (8), PROSIT (8), PROSOS (8), PROTEA (8) — all built from common tiles.

One chunk, many words: PRO

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 PRO pattern moves into long-term memory. It is also a quiet Scrabble edge — racks that spell PRO plus common tiles come up constantly, and prepared players cash them in while others shuffle letters.
