Finding the Exact Word You Need
Trying to land a big play using Scrabble® words that start with X? Need some words that start with Z or Q because nothing is coming to mind? Words starting with K are among our favorite words too (and for good reason).
Look no further. Just jump to the words beginning with each letter and compare them with what you have on your rack and game board. Then, make words with these letters to capitalize on the biggest opportunities and score the most points.
When you’re in the middle of a game and you need to find a word in a hurry, it’s time to make a mad dash for the word finder search bar. Type your word scramble into the main search field. Then, add the letter you want your words to begin with into the “starts” advanced search option area. Once your letters are all set, hit enter and receive the answers to your puzzling prayers.
WordFinder® will work its anagram solver magic, instantly producing a complete list of words with the letters you gave it. And, if it helps speed your search along even more, you can sort the results from A to Z, from Z to A or by number of points in your preferred game. You can unscramble up to 15 letters at a time!
Play Words Starting With Hooks
You’re in the middle of a gripping game of Words With Friends®, it’s down to the wire, and you’re wondering how to unscramble words from your random letters. It’s all about maximizing your points while also minimizing your opponent’s chances. That’s why you need to practice playing hooks.
A hook is when you tack a letter onto the end (or beginning) of an existing word to form a new word. You piggyback on words that have already been played to gain even more points.
The most common tactic is to add “S” to the end of a word to pluralize it. Then, you use that S to form another word for even more points in the same turn. When you use our word finder tool, you’ll uncover every possible word you can play with the letters in your rack, including words starting with any letter you want.
Take this example using the Words With Friends® scoring system:
Your opponent plays AXE for 10 points.
You add an S to the end to form AXES for 11 points.
You look for words that start with S.
You decide on SIZE, using that same S, for 13 points.
In one turn, and by using only four tiles, you’ve earned at least 24 points. That’s without including any potential bonus points!
Not bad, right? Take advantage of those hooks for big-time plays!
Find Words With Common Beginnings
A great strategy when playing word games like Scrabble®, Wordle and Words With Friends® is to group common letter combinations. For instance, say you have a D and an E in your letter rack. You should be thinking about words that end in -ED or words with DE- at the beginning.
This holds true when you’re thinking about words beginning with certain letters. It is especially helpful when you have more challenging letters.
Words starting with C could start with CH, like CHIA and CHEAP.
Words starting with K could start with KN, like KNAP and KNEADS.
5 letter words starting with S could start with SH, like SHORE and SHYLY.
Words starting with W could start with WR, like WRONG and WRITING.
When you access our word lists for each letter of the alphabet, the results are automatically sorted by word length. That way, if you need 5-letter words starting with Z to reach a triple word bonus square, you’ll be able to find them right away. This is a sound strategy for choosing a great Wordle first word too. Our daily Wordle clues are always there for you as well.
Finding words that start with every letter of the alphabet is easy when you’ve got WordFinder® in your corner. Now get in there, play the word games you love, and always come out on top!
