5 Letter Words by Starting Letter — All 12,478

Every five-letter word in our dictionary, grouped by its first letter, with its Scrabble score. Jump to a letter, scan the list, and copy what you need.

This is the browsable index of all 12,478 five-letter words we hold. Each word is listed once, under the letter it starts with, and the number beside it is its standard Scrabble value. If you are hunting for a Wordle guess, start with the letter you already know is correct. If you are playing Scrabble, the score tells you which candidates are worth the tiles.

Want to filter instead of scroll? The 5 letter words finder takes the letters you know, the spots they sit in and the letters you can rule out. For an anagram rather than a pattern, use the word finder.
