Why HO words matter

Words containing HO 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

A few numbers before you scroll: the 5466 words here run from 2 to 15 letters, with 9-letter words the largest group (825 entries). Wordle players have 187 five-letter options, and there are 528 seven-letter candidates for a Scrabble bingo. The single best scorer is PSYCHOANALYZING at 38 points before multipliers.

For quick reference, the top of the score table reads: PSYCHOANALYZING (38), SHOWBIZZY (38), PHOTOOXIDIZING (37), PSYCHOANALYZED (37), PHOTOOXIDIZED (36). ACANTHOCEPHALAN (15 letters) stretches furthest, while the list-wide average score sits near 18 points. If you are fishing for these words, keep O (5466 appearances), H (5466) and S (3507) on your rack.

Start with these three

AHORSE is easy to keep in memory: 6 letters, 9 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.
ASHORE — a 6-letter, 9-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.
Playing AUTHOR 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: HOARSE (9), HOISES (9), HOISTS (9), HOLIER (9), HOLIES (9).

HO as a vocabulary shortcut

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