field F₄I₁E₁L₁D₂

In ordinary use, FIELD is open country without woodland, cities, or towns; it can also mean ground used for crops or livestock. That makes it a familiar everyday word rather than a specialist spelling. Its game profile has a neat split: a single F drives much of the score, while the other four tiles are low-value.

FIELD at a glance

• FIELD is five letters long and carries a 9-point base Scrabble score.
• F is the premium tile at four points; D adds two.
• I, E, and L each add one point.
• FIELD is both a permitted Wordle guess and a recorded answer.
• FILED, FLIED, and FELID use the same five letters.
• Six one-letter neighbors include YIELD and WIELD.

What is the FIELD meaning?

FIELD has two closely related senses: open land and an area used to grow crops or keep farm animals. The shared idea is a broad stretch of ground, not a small garden or a built-up place. In a sentence, “the field behind the barn” points to land; “a field of study” is a separate figurative use.

That definition gives FIELD an easy mental image: open ground, often with a boundary or a crop. Its three anagrams are FILED, FLIED, and FELID. FILED and FLIED are familiar forms; FELID is less familiar, so the trio is not equally everyday.

How does FIELD score in Scrabble and Wordle?

The FIELD Scrabble score is 9 points: F is worth four, D two, and I, E, and L one apiece. F supplies nearly half the base value, so a premium letter square matters more than trying to save the word for a long play. Board bonuses can change the final total; the printed tile sum does not.

FIELD is also both a Wordle answer and an allowed guess. That overlap puts the word on both sides of the game's vocabulary, but its easy spelling is no reason to spend a guess blindly: use colors from earlier turns and test only letters still possible. Six one-letter neighbors include YIELD and WIELD; BIELD, FJELD, and SIELD are less familiar choices, so check your game's word list before relying on them.
