About

FiveLetterWords.us.com lists all 13,001 five-letter words in English and lets you narrow them down by the letters you already know.

The word list is the tournament dictionary used by Scrabble and most word games, so everything here is playable. It includes words that are valid but rare.

The ordering is by how often each word appears in written English, not alphabetically and not by score. A list sorted alphabetically opens with AAHED, AALII and AARGH, which is useless if you are trying to guess a word someone actually chose. Words in full contrast are common; greyed words are valid but rare.
