Why WO words matter

Words containing WO 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: 1605 words spanning 2–15 letters. The biggest cluster sits at 9 letters (371 words), 52 entries are Wordle-sized at five letters, and 184 run to seven — bingo length if you can empty the rack. For points, the ceiling is JABBERWOCKY, worth 34.

Chasing points? The best five entries here are JABBERWOCKY (34), BUZZWORDS (33), JABBERWOCKIES (33), BUZZWORD (32), LACQUERWORKS (30). AIRWORTHINESSES (15 letters) stretches furthest, while the list-wide average score sits near 17 points. If you are fishing for these words, keep O (1605 appearances), W (1605) and R (1103) on your rack.

Three easy picks from this list

ASWOON — a 6-letter, 9-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.
SWOONS earns 9 points from just 6 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.
SWOUNS is easy to keep in memory: 6 letters, 9 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.

Five more everyday options from the same list: UNWORN (9), WONNER (9), WONTON (9), WOOERS (9), WOOLEN (9).

Learning words through WO

Groups like this one reward a different kind of practice: pick five words of different lengths from the list above, write each in a sentence, and the WO pattern moves into long-term memory. It is also a quiet Scrabble edge — racks that spell WO plus common tiles come up constantly, and prepared players cash them in while others shuffle letters.
