About this list
This list is drawn from the ENABLE word list — the Enhanced North American Benchmark LExicon, a 173,000-word public-domain dictionary that is the de-facto standard for North American word games (Scrabble Tournament Word List, Words With Friends, etc.). Puzzle Cottage’s dictionary uses the 1–8 letter subset (~80,000 words) for word-validation in Word Scramble and Anagram Race.
Words flagged as predominantly proper nouns (HARRY, PETER, JIMMY, etc.) are filtered out — technically valid in Scrabble, but most players read them as names and feel cheated when they’re accepted in word games. Common nouns that double as names (HOLLY, DOLLY, PENNY) stay.
Frequently asked questions
How many English words contain the letter Q?
In the ENABLE word list (3-8 letter subset), 977 words contain Q.
What's a good Scrabble strategy for Q?
Q is high-value in Scrabble (Z=10, Q=10, X=8, J=8, K=5). Save it for double/triple-letter or word multipliers when possible. Words like QI (Q on a triple-letter is 30 points alone) are bingo bonuses.
Are there 5-letter Wordle words with Q?
Yes, but they're rare in actual Wordle answers — Q appears in less than 5% of Wordle's 2,315 answers (rarer for Z, Q, X, J than for K). If you suspect a Q, test it specifically — the constraint narrows the answer set fast.
Can I use these in word games?
Yes — these are all ENABLE/Scrabble-valid English words.
Why are some "real" words missing?
Proper-noun-leaning entries are filtered. Slang and very recent vocabulary additions may not appear in ENABLE.
