Why EW words matter

Words containing EW 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

A few numbers before you scroll: the 1249 words here run from 3 to 15 letters, with 9-letter words the largest group (241 entries). Wordle players have 64 five-letter options, and there are 171 seven-letter candidates for a Scrabble bingo. The single best scorer is GEWURZTRAMINERS at 30 points before multipliers.

For quick reference, the top of the score table reads: GEWURZTRAMINERS (30), GEWURZTRAMINER (29), OVERBEJEWELED (29), JACKSCREWS (28), NEWSMAGAZINES (28). At 15 letters, BLAMEWORTHINESS is the longest word on the list; a typical entry scores around 16. The most useful tiles to hold for this list are E, W and R, which appear in 1249, 1249 and 780 of the words respectively.

Three words worth learning first

NEWELS — a 6-letter, 9-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.
NEWEST is easy to keep in memory: 6 letters, 9 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.
NEWIES earns 9 points from just 6 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.

Round out your set with NEWSIE (9), NEWTON (9), RENEWS (9), RESEWN (9), RESEWS (9) — all built from common tiles.

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