What the numbers say

Inside this list: 199 words spanning 3–15 letters. The biggest cluster sits at 10 letters (26 words), 4 entries are Wordle-sized at five letters, and 19 run to seven — bingo length if you can empty the rack. For points, the ceiling is HYPOPHYSECTOMY, worth 37.

At 15 letters, ADENOHYPOPHYSES is the longest word on the list; a typical entry scores around 19. Letter-wise, P is the workhorse — it appears in 199 of these words, ahead of O (199) and A (124).

Three easy picks from this list

Playing EPOPEE across a double-word square turns its base 10 points into 20 — solid value for 6 tiles.
POPLAR is easy to keep in memory: 6 letters, 10 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.
POPLIN — a 6-letter, 10-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.

Five more everyday options from the same list: POPSIE (10), POPES (9), POPGUN (11), POPE (8), POPS (8).
