Why URE words matter

Words containing URE 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

The shape of this list: 1153 entries between 4 and 15 letters long, peaking at 8 letters with 233 words. Five-letter picks number 26 and seven-letter picks 145. Nothing here outscores SCULPTURESQUELY — 31 points from 15 tiles on plain squares.

Chasing points? The best five entries here are SCULPTURESQUELY (31), BUREAUCRATIZING (29), HYDROXYUREAS (29), PICTURESQUELY (29), BUREAUCRATIZED (28). At 15 letters, ANTIFORECLOSURE is the longest word on the list; a typical entry scores around 13. The most useful tiles to hold for this list are U, R and E, which appear in 1153, 1153 and 1153 of the words respectively.

Three words worth learning first

LURE — a 4-letter, 4-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.
SURE — 4 letters for 4 points; every tile in it is a common draw, so it shows up rack after rack.
When the rack looks hopeless, UREA (4 letters, 4 points) is the kind of quiet play that keeps a game moving.

Once those stick, file away the next tier too: AUREI (5), AURES (5), ENURE (5), INURE (5), LURER (5).

One chunk, many words: URE

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