9-Letter Words
Last updated:
Counting only the ENABLE word list, 24,848 entries are words with exactly 9 letters. That is about 14.4% of the list. All of them have the same length, so they differ only in their letters. By common tile values the top scorer is QUIZZICAL (38 points); board bonuses aren't counted. 2,781 of them use no letter twice, which matters in games where every tile is separate. Different games use different dictionaries, so check your game's rules before relying on a word.
