Why PAR words matter

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

What the numbers say

Inside this list: 1282 words spanning 3–15 letters. The biggest cluster sits at 9 letters (189 words), 28 entries are Wordle-sized at five letters, and 129 run to seven — bingo length if you can empty the rack. For points, the ceiling is JEOPARDIZING, worth 32.

Chasing points? The best five entries here are JEOPARDIZING (32), PARAMYXOVIRUSES (32), JEOPARDIZED (31), PAPARAZZI (31), PAPARAZZO (31). At 15 letters, ANTISEPARATISTS is the longest word on the list; a typical entry scores around 16. The most useful tiles to hold for this list are A, R and P, which appear in 1282, 1282 and 1282 of the words respectively.

Three easy picks from this list

When the rack looks hopeless, NONPAR (6 letters, 8 points) is the kind of quiet play that keeps a game moving.
PARENT earns 8 points from just 6 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.
PAREOS — 6 letters for 8 points; every tile in it is a common draw, so it shows up rack after rack.

Once those stick, file away the next tier too: PARERS (8), PAREUS (8), PARIAN (8), PARIES (8), PARLES (8).

One chunk, many words: PAR

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