Nearly every word on this page is a past tense or past participle. That is useful: 34 of the 247 are common, because everyday verbs like COUNT, TRUST and TOUCH all fit. The only real decision is the consonant before the -ED, and four of them, T, H, G and K, cover 118 words.

The U-third, D-last frame in numbers

  • 247 words: 244 in Collins, 193 in NWL2023, 180 in ENABLE.
  • 34 are common, such as FOUNDED, WOUNDED, MOUNTED and LAUGHED.
  • -TED ends 44 words, -HED 28, -GED 27 and -KED 19.
  • CHUCKED and CHUFFED score 19, WHUPPED and WHUMPED 18, and the average is 12.2.
  • S opens 65 words, C opens 29, B opens 21 and F opens 17.

Which -ED endings give the everyday words?

-TED gives MOUNTED, TRUSTED, COUNTED, HAUNTED, DOUBTED and ERUPTED, and -HED gives TOUCHED, LAUGHED, CRUSHED, BRUSHED and FLUSHED. -GED adds PLUGGED, PLUNGED and DRUGGED, and PLUCKED carries the -KED group.

The rest reach through -NED, -RED, -SED and -LED: STUNNED, BLURRED, BRUISED and COUPLED. Those are plain English words, so a clue that sounds like a verb should send you to this half of the list first.

What are the 10 words that do not end in -ED?

-ID gives SQUALID, BRUCHID, CLUPEID, FLUORID, IGUANID, NEUROID and SAUROID, -RD gives FOULARD and POULARD, and BAUSOND is the lone -ND word. SQUALID is the only one most players will have used, and it scores 17.

For Scrabble, the top score on the whole page still goes to CHUCKED and CHUFFED at 19, with SQUARED at 17 and PLUCKED at 16 close behind.

An -ID word like SQUALID or a -RD word like FOULARD is also a way to play through the D when every -ED slot on the board is taken.

Note

54 of the 247 are missing from NWL2023, including AGUIZED at 18. WHUPPED works in NWL2023 and Collins but not ENABLE. The common -ED verbs are safe everywhere.
