Why WORK words matter

Words containing WORK 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: 372 entries between 4 and 15 letters long, peaking at 9 letters with 103 words. Five-letter picks number 1 and seven-letter picks 25. Nothing here outscores LACQUERWORKS — 30 points from 12 tiles on plain squares.

The five biggest scorers on the page: LACQUERWORKS (30), JOURNEYWORKS (29), LACQUERWORK (29), JOURNEYWORK (28), WICKERWORKS (27). UNWORKABILITIES (15 letters) stretches furthest, while the list-wide average score sits near 20 points. The most useful tiles to hold for this list are K, O and W, which appear in 372, 372 and 372 of the words respectively.

Three easy picks from this list

Playing REWORK across a double-word square turns its base 13 points into 26 — solid value for 6 tiles.
WORKER is easy to keep in memory: 6 letters, 13 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.
WORKED earns 14 points from just 6 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.

Once those stick, file away the next tier too: WORKS (12), WORKUP (15), WORK (11), BYWORK (18), WORKLESSNESSES (21).

Learning words through WORK

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