Why STR words matter

Words containing STR 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

The shape of this list: 1974 entries between 5 and 15 letters long, peaking at 10 letters with 295 words. Five-letter picks number 12 and seven-letter picks 117. Nothing here outscores PHYTOCHEMISTRY — 32 points from 14 tiles on plain squares.

The five biggest scorers on the page: PHYTOCHEMISTRY (32), STRAIGHTJACKETS (32), APOSTROPHIZING (31), STRAIGHTJACKET (31), APOSTROPHIZED (30). At 15 letters, ABSTRACTIONISMS is the longest word on the list; a typical entry scores around 15. Letter-wise, T is the workhorse — it appears in 1974 of these words, ahead of S (1974) and R (1974).

Three easy picks from this list

STRIA — a 5-letter, 5-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.
When the rack looks hopeless, STRUT (5 letters, 5 points) is the kind of quiet play that keeps a game moving.
ASTRAL — 6 letters for 6 points; every tile in it is a common draw, so it shows up rack after rack.

Round out your set with ESTRAL (6), ESTRIN (6), ESTRUS (6), LUSTRA (6), LUSTRE (6) — all built from common tiles.

STR as a vocabulary shortcut

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