What the numbers say

The shape of this list: 824 entries between 3 and 15 letters long, peaking at 10 letters with 158 words. Five-letter picks number 11 and seven-letter picks 26. Nothing here outscores HYPERCIVILIZED — 37 points from 14 tiles on plain squares.

Three words worth learning first

When the rack looks hopeless, SEIZED (6 letters, 16 points) is the kind of quiet play that keeps a game moving.
GLAZED — 6 letters for 17 points; every tile in it is a common draw, so it shows up rack after rack.
GLOZED earns 17 points from just 6 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.

Round out your set with GRAZED (17), LAZED (15), OOZED (15), RAZED (15), SIZED (15) — all built from common tiles.
