What the numbers say

Inside this list: 206 words spanning 3–15 letters. The biggest cluster sits at 7 letters (35 words), 8 entries are Wordle-sized at five letters, and 35 run to seven — bingo length if you can empty the rack. For points, the ceiling is FANATICIZING, worth 27.

For quick reference, the top of the score table reads: FANATICIZING (27), INFANTILIZATION (27), FANATICIZED (26), INFANTILIZING (26), FANATICIZES (25). The longest entry is FANATICALNESSES at 15 letters, and the average word here is worth about 15 points. The most useful tiles to hold for this list are N, F and A, which appear in 206, 206 and 206 of the words respectively.

Three easy picks from this list

FANION is easy to keep in memory: 6 letters, 9 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.
FANNER earns 9 points from just 6 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.
Playing FANONS across a double-word square turns its base 9 points into 18 — solid value for 6 tiles.

Once those stick, file away the next tier too: INFANT (9), NONFAN (9), FANES (8), FANON (8), FANOS (8).
