Why CR words matter

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

A quick statistical tour

Inside this list: 3543 words spanning 3–15 letters. The biggest cluster sits at 9 letters (560 words), 98 entries are Wordle-sized at five letters, and 328 run to seven — bingo length if you can empty the rack. For points, the ceiling is MICROEARTHQUAKE, worth 35.

For quick reference, the top of the score table reads: MICROEARTHQUAKE (35), CRACKERJACKS (33), CRYPTOZOOLOGY (33), MICROTECHNIQUES (33), CRACKAJACKS (32). The longest entry is ACRIMONIOUSNESS at 15 letters, and the average word here is worth about 16 points. The most useful tiles to hold for this list are C, R and E, which appear in 3543, 3543 and 2434 of the words respectively.

Three words worth learning first

ACROSS — a 6-letter, 8-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.
CRAALS is easy to keep in memory: 6 letters, 8 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.
When the rack looks hopeless, CRANES (6 letters, 8 points) is the kind of quiet play that keeps a game moving.

Five more everyday options from the same list: CRANIA (8), CRASES (8), CRASIS (8), CRATER (8), CRATES (8).

Learning words through CR

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