What is in this list

This list holds 18,959 words, 11% of the 172,634 words this site keeps from the ENABLE word list. They run from 2 to 22 letters, and the most common length is 8 letters with 3,461 words (18.3% of the list). The shortest are SH, SI and SO; the longest is SPECTROPHOTOMETRICALLY. Of the 13 lists in this group it is the biggest; the next is “words that start with A” with 10,451, and the smallest is “words that start with X” with 136. 29 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 14.6 points (median 14); words of the same lengths across the whole list average 15.2, so this list runs 0.5 points leaner. The top scorers are SUBJECTIVIZATIONS (42), SUBJECTIVIZATION (41), SUBJECTIVIZING (41), SUBJECTIVIZED (39). Point for point, SUQ earns the most per letter: 13 points over 3 letters, 4.3 each. S itself is worth 1 point here, so the score comes from the other letters.

Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) make up 34.5% of the letters, against 38% across the whole list. 224 words are more than half vowels. 26 words have none of them at all, leaning on Y instead — for example SCRY, SH, SHH and SHY. Compared with the whole dictionary, the letter most over-represented here is K: 1.1% of the letters, against 0.8% overall.

How the words are built

After the opening S, the next letter is U in 15.2% of words, then T (13.7%) and E (9.8%). 5,082 words have a doubled letter (26.8%); the most common doubles are SS (1,092), LL (838), EE (680). The most common endings are -ING (1,381, as in SABBING), -ERS (818, as in SABERS), -SES (582, as in SACCHARASES). 35.2% end in a single S — mostly plurals and verb forms of shorter words.

Word play in this list

The biggest anagram family here is SETAL, SLATE, STALE, STEAL and STELA — 5 words from the same 5 letters. The longest pair of anagrams is SEISMOLOGIST and SEMIOLOGISTS, at 12 letters. Altogether 678 sets of anagrams sit inside this list, covering 1,446 words. It contains 14 palindromes, read the same both ways: SAGAS, SEES, SELLES, SEMEMES, SEMES and SERES. 180 words turn into another real word when spelled backwards — SAGA becomes AGAS, SALLETS becomes STELLAS, SAPS becomes SPAS, SAROS becomes SORAS. The longest word with no letter repeated is SUBORDINATELY (13 different letters). SYNCHROCYCLOTRONS is the longest word here that uses only one kind of vowel, ahead of SPEECHLESSNESSES.

27.9% of these words take an S on the end and stay a word (SAB, SABADILLA and SABATON among them); after S, the most useful end letter is D, which extends 503 words. At the front, A turns 101 words into new ones (SCEND → ASCEND); E turns 65 words into new ones (SCALADE → ESCALADE); I turns 12 words into new ones (SATIN → ISATIN).

Using this list

To narrow it further, open it in the pattern finder: the rule “starts with S” is already filled in, and you can add a length, a fixed letter position or letters to leave out.
