This page shows 930 of the 11,348 words; the finder lists all of them and can copy them as text.
What is in this list
This list holds 11,348 words, 6.6% of the 172,634 words this site keeps from the ENABLE word list. Every word here has 12 letters, and they average 12 letters by construction — so the interesting differences are in which letters they use. Of the 14 lists in this group it is the 7th largest: “8 letter words” leads with 28,394 and “2 letter words” has the fewest, 96. 10 words that would also fit were 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 19.6 points (median 19); words of the same lengths across the whole list average 19.6, so this list scores the same as the dictionary. The top scorers are RAZZMATAZZES (42), QUIZZICALITY (41), BLACKJACKING (37), SUBJECTIVIZE (37). Point for point, RAZZMATAZZES earns the most per letter: 42 points over 12 letters, 3.5 each.
Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) make up 38.5% of the letters, against 38% across the whole list. 71 words are more than half vowels.
How the words are built
3,258 words have a doubled letter (28.7%); the most common doubles are SS (1,293), LL (762), EE (222). The most common three-letter openings are CON- (274, as in CONCANAVALIN), INT- (230, as in INTACTNESSES), NON- (227, as in NONABSORBENT). The most common endings are -ING (1,080, as in ABBREVIATING), -SES (609, as in ABJECTNESSES), -IES (540, as in ABSORBANCIES). 40.2% end in a single S — mostly plurals and verb forms of shorter words.
Word play in this list
The biggest anagram family here is CREATIONISMS, MISCREATIONS and ROMANTICISES — 3 words from the same 12 letters. Altogether 123 sets of anagrams sit inside this list, covering 249 words. ABRACADABRAS is the longest word here that uses only one kind of vowel, ahead of BRONCHOSCOPY.
18.3% of these words take an S on the end and stay a word (ABBREVIATION, ABOLITIONISM and ABOLITIONIST among them); after S, the most useful end letter is D, which extends 153 words. At the front, P turns 38 words into new ones (ARTISANSHIPS → PARTISANSHIPS); A turns 12 words into new ones (ESTHETICIANS → AESTHETICIANS); R turns 5 words into new ones (ELATEDNESSES → RELATEDNESSES).
Using this list
To narrow it further, open it in the pattern finder: the rule “has 12 letters” is already filled in, and you can add a length, a fixed letter position or letters to leave out.
