Why DE words matter

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

This list by the numbers

The shape of this list: 9942 entries between 2 and 15 letters long, peaking at 9 letters with 1646 words. Five-letter picks number 242 and seven-letter picks 1045. Nothing here outscores PUZZLEHEADED — 37 points from 12 tiles on plain squares.

The five biggest scorers on the page: PUZZLEHEADED (37), DEMYTHOLOGIZING (35), CYCLOHEXIMIDES (34), DEMYTHOLOGIZED (34), DEMYTHOLOGIZERS (34). The longest entry is ADENOCARCINOMAS at 15 letters, and the average word here is worth about 15 points. If you are fishing for these words, keep D (9942 appearances), E (9942) and R (5518) on your rack.

Three words worth learning first

AIDERS — a 6-letter, 7-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.
ALDERS earns 7 points from just 6 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.
Playing ALLUDE across a double-word square turns its base 7 points into 14 — solid value for 6 tiles.

Once those stick, file away the next tier too: ALUDEL (7), ANODES (7), ARDENT (7), ARIDER (7), ASIDES (7).

Learning words through DE

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