Words Starting With HY
Last updated:
Counting only the ENABLE word list, 993 entries are words that start with HY. That is about 0.58% of the list. They run from HYP at the short end to HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIAS and HYPERSUSCEPTIBILITIES at the long end. By common tile values the top scorer is HYPOPHYSECTOMIZING (48 points); board bonuses aren't counted. 160 of them use no letter twice, which matters in games where every tile is separate. Games use their own dictionaries, so a word here isn't automatically playable everywhere.
