Every word here ends in D, so the question is what comes before it. Four in five say E, and the L before that gives a huge -LED family. A handful of Z words, led by QUIZZED, turn an otherwise ordinary list into a source of big scores.

Facts about the ?U????D words

Collins accepts 237 of the 241, NWL2023 accepts 191 and ENABLE accepts 181.
Twenty-two words are common, from HUSBAND and HUNDRED to PUZZLED.
The average score is 13, and QUIZZED reaches 35.
Q opens 29 words, B opens 28, and S and M open 20 each.

How many of these words end in -ED?

A total of 191, which is about four in five. The commonest block is -LED with 72 words, then -TED with 25, -IED with 21 and -HED with 17, and -RED trails with 16.

BUNDLED, PUZZLED and HUMBLED show the -LED group, PUNCHED the -HED group, BULLIED the -IED group and CURATED the -TED group. The 50 words that do not end in -ED include HUSBAND, HUNDRED, MUSTARD and OUTWARD.

Which Z words score the most?

QUIZZED scores 35, then HUZZAED, FUZZLED and WUZZLED score 29. BUZZARD, MUZZLED and PUZZLED reach 28, and GUZZLED reaches 27.

FUZZLED and WUZZLED are Collins-only, but QUIZZED, HUZZAED, BUZZARD, MUZZLED and PUZZLED pass everywhere. Two Zs add 20 points before any other tile counts. Ordinary plays sit lower: HUSBAND scores 13, HUNDRED 12 and SUCCEED 12, so the common words land close to the 13-point average.

Which dictionary should you worry about?

Fifty of the 241 are not in NWL2023, including DUALLED, QUAERED, NUBBLED and CUFFLED. DUALLED, for one, is a British double-L spelling that North American lists omit.

Stick to PUZZLED, MUZZLED, BUNDLED and PUNCHED when you are unsure which list your game uses. All four are valid in Collins, NWL2023 and ENABLE, and the first two score 28.
