This page shows 1,596 of the 5,070 words; the finder lists all of them and can copy them as text.

What is in this list

This list holds 5,070 words, 2.9% 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 825 words (16.3% of the list). The shortest are UH, UM, UN, UP, US and UT; the longest is UNREPRESENTATIVENESSES. Of the 13 lists in this group it is the 6th largest: “words that start with S” leads with 18,959 and “words that start with X” has the fewest, 136.

Points and vowels

Using this site's letter values, the average word here scores 16.4 points (median 16); words of the same lengths across the whole list average 16.5, so this list runs 0.1 points leaner. The top scorers are UNEQUIVOCABLY (36), UNEXCEPTIONABLENESSES (36), ULTRAMICROSCOPICALLY (34), UNEQUIVOCALLY (34). Point for point, UMIAQ earns the most per letter: 17 points over 5 letters, 3.4 each. U itself is worth 2 points here, so the score comes from the other letters.

Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) make up 40.2% of the letters, against 38% across the whole list. 248 words are more than half vowels. Compared with the whole dictionary, the letter most over-represented here is N: 12.8% of the letters, against 6.8% overall.

How the words are built

After the opening U, the next letter is N in 76.1% of words, then P (8.7%) and L (5.1%). 1,122 words have a doubled letter (22.1%); the most common doubles are SS (386), LL (191), PP (110). The most common endings are -ING (483, as in UGLIFYING), -TED (277, as in ULCERATED), -BLE (230, as in ULTRARELIABLE). 21.5% end in a single S — mostly plurals and verb forms of shorter words.

Word play in this list

The biggest anagram family here is UNCRATED, UNDERACT and UNTRACED — 3 words from the same 8 letters. The longest pair of anagrams is UNCLARITIES and UNREALISTIC, at 11 letters. Altogether 79 sets of anagrams sit inside this list, covering 162 words. It contains 1 palindrome, read the same both ways: ULU. 1 word turns into another real word when spelled backwards — ULUS becomes SULU. The longest word with no letter repeated is UNCOPYRIGHTABLE (15 different letters). UNTRUTHFULLY is the longest word here that uses only one kind of vowel, ahead of UNCHURCHLY.

14.7% of these words take an S on the end and stay a word (UBIQUINONE, UDDER and UDO among them); after S, the most useful end letter is D, which extends 118 words. At the front, S turns 49 words into new ones (UGH → SUGH); P turns 39 words into new ones (UGH → PUGH); B turns 37 words into new ones (UDDER → BUDDER).

Using this list

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