Which matching words score the most?

SWISHY and SWASHY top the tile-score ranking at 15 points each. SIKSIK and SPOSHY follow at 14, while SHISHA, SLUSHY, and SLOSHY each score 12. Those less familiar options can be worth checking when your rack has high-value letters.

For an easier-to-spot play, compare the scoring options with words you already know: SEASON, SUBSET, and SENSEI appear among the examples. The top score belongs to SWISHY and SWASHY, not to the most familiar entries, so consider both rack fit and word-list acceptance.

The dictionary counts differ: Collins has 66 matches, NWL2023 has 47, and ENABLE has 42. A word accepted in one list may not work in another, so check your game's word list before committing to an unfamiliar entry.

The ending pattern is lopsided: 26 matches finish in S, while 10 finish in D and 7 in R. Only 7 qualify as common, and 51 are marked as defined. Treat the full set as a clue-solving pool, not a promise that every entry will feel familiar.
