This page shows 673 of the 930 words; the finder lists all of them and can copy them as text.
What is in this list
This list holds 930 words, 0.5% of the 172,634 words this site keeps from the ENABLE word list. Every word here has 5 letters, and they average 5 letters by construction — so the interesting differences are in which letters they use. Of the 36 lists in this group it is the 10th largest: “5 letter words with E” leads with 3,876 and “5 letter words ending in UMPY” has the fewest, 5. 1 word that would also fit was left out by this site's blocklist of slurs and explicit words.
Points and vowels
Using this site's letter values, the average word here scores 8.9 points (median 9); words of the same lengths across the whole list average 9.6, so this list runs 0.7 points leaner. The top scorers are KOPJE (20), JAMBE (19), QUAKE (19), TAZZE (19). Point for point, KOPJE earns the most per letter: 20 points over 5 letters, 4 each. E itself is worth 1 point here, so the score comes from the other letters.
Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) make up 47.6% of the letters, against 38% across the whole list. 354 words are more than half vowels. Compared with the whole dictionary, the letter most over-represented here is V: 2% of the letters, against 1% overall.
Letter by letter
Position by position, the most likely letters are S in slot 1 (14.3%), A in slot 2 (13.4%), A in slot 3 (14.8%), S in slot 4 (11.1%), E in slot 5 (100%). 617 words use 5 different letters with none repeated (66.3%); the rest repeat at least one, and the most common double is EE (44 words). The most common three-letter openings are STA- (8, as in STADE), SHA- (7, as in SHADE), STO- (7, as in STOAE).
Word play in this list
The biggest anagram family here is AGREE, EAGRE and RAGEE — 3 words from the same 5 letters. Altogether 97 sets of anagrams sit inside this list, covering 206 words. 4 words turn into another real word when spelled backwards — EDILE becomes ELIDE, ELIDE becomes EDILE, LIVRE becomes ERVIL, STIME becomes EMITS. BELLE is the longest word here that uses only one kind of vowel, ahead of BENNE.
87% of these words take an S on the end and stay a word (ABASE, ABATE and ABELE among them); after S, the most useful end letter is D, which extends 429 words. At the front, S turns 29 words into new ones (ADDLE → SADDLE); A turns 17 words into new ones (BLATE → ABLATE); B turns 14 words into new ones (AGGIE → BAGGIE).
Using this list
If the answer to a five-letter puzzle is known to be in this list, ARISE is the guess that splits it most evenly: its colour patterns divide the words into 52 groups, the largest of which has 162 words left (4.4 bits of information). To narrow it further, open it in the pattern finder: the rule “ends in E, has 5 letters” is already filled in, and you can add a length, a fixed letter position or letters to leave out.
