Why EIGH words matter

Words containing EIGH 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: 153 entries between 5 and 15 letters long, peaking at 10 letters with 23 words. Five-letter picks number 4 and seven-letter picks 15. Nothing here outscores HEAVYWEIGHTS — 28 points from 12 tiles on plain squares.

The five biggest scorers on the page: HEAVYWEIGHTS (28), FEATHERWEIGHTS (27), HEAVYWEIGHT (27), FEATHERWEIGHT (26), HUNDREDWEIGHTS (26). At 15 letters, COUNTERWEIGHTED is the longest word on the list; a typical entry scores around 18. Letter-wise, E is the workhorse — it appears in 153 of these words, ahead of G (153) and I (153).

Three words worth learning first

EIGHTS — 6 letters for 10 points; every tile in it is a common draw, so it shows up rack after rack.
When the rack looks hopeless, NEIGHS (6 letters, 10 points) is the kind of quiet play that keeps a game moving.
Playing SLEIGH across a double-word square turns its base 10 points into 20 — solid value for 6 tiles.

Five more everyday options from the same list: EIGHT (9), NEIGH (9), DREIGH (11), AWEIGH (13), EIGHTH (13).

EIGH as a vocabulary shortcut

Letter chunks like EIGH are how vocabulary compounds: learn the pattern once and every word built on it gets easier to recall and to spell. Read down this list and you will see the same rhythm repeat across lengths — that repetition is exactly what makes these words stick for spelling bees, ESL study and crossword pattern-matching alike.
