UT is one of the most productive openings in English, and OUT- swallows half of this frame all by itself. After that the pattern splits into short stems such as CUT-, MUT-, BUT-, NUT- and PUT-. Decide first if the answer is an OUT word, and the list roughly halves.

UT-opening words at a glance

  • 439 words fit: Collins 435, NWL2023 363, ENABLE 337.
  • OUT- starts 218 of them; CUT- is next with 27, then MUT- 24, BUT- 23 and NUT- 21.
  • 23 are common words, and 13 of those are OUT words.
  • 128 end in S, 18 end in -ING and 19 end in -ED.
  • HUTZPAH scores 24, the highest, and the average is 10.3.

Which OUT words are worth knowing?

OUTSIDE, OUTCOME, OUTDOOR, OUTLOOK and OUTLINE are the everyday ones, and OUTRAGE, OUTWARD, OUTPOST and OUTBACK are close behind. Plural forms like OUTLETS, OUTFITS, OUTPUTS and OUTLAWS bring the common total for this family to 13.

The other 205 attach OUT- to a short word, as in OUTLAST, OUTPLAY, OUTGROW and OUTWORK. They are easy to build on the fly, which makes this family the best place to dig when your rack holds an O, a U and a T.

What fits when the word does not start with OUT?

Ten common words remain: PUTTING, CUTTING, AUTHORS, BUTTONS, FUTURES, BUTCHER, AUTOPSY, MUTANTS, CUTTERS and MUTATED. Double T is the repeat offender, so PUTTING and CUTTING sit alongside GUTTING and JUTTING.

Endings help too: 128 of the 439 end in S, and 18 end in -ING, with PUTTING and CUTTING the common pair. Z and J give the pattern its big scores. HUTZPAH makes 24, HUTZPAS and OUTJINX 21, and FUTZING 20.

Do you need rare tiles to score here?

Tip

OUTJINX scores 21 only because of J and X, yet both OUTSIDE and OUTLOOK score 8 and 11. A rack with no big tile still gets a respectable play from the plain OUT words.
