The whole list is small enough to learn in one sitting, and it falls into near-twins. WARSHIP and WORSHIP differ by one letter, as do WINESAP and WINESOP and the spellings WICKIUP and WICKYUP. That leaves four words that stand on their own.

Every word that starts with W and ends in P

  • The ten are WARDROP, WARSHIP, WICKIUP, WICKYUP, WINESAP, WINESOP, WINGTIP, WIRETAP, WORKTOP and WORSHIP.
  • Collins accepts all 10, NWL2023 accepts 9 and ENABLE accepts 7.
  • Only WORSHIP and WARSHIP are everyday words.
  • WICKYUP leads on 21, then WICKIUP on 18 and WORKTOP on 16.
  • A typical word scores 14.7 points.

Which words are near-twins?

Three pairs differ by a single letter. WARSHIP and WORSHIP swap A and O, WINESAP and WINESOP swap A and O in the same way, and WICKIUP and WICKYUP swap I and Y.

That covers six words. WORKTOP, WINGTIP and WIRETAP are a trio ending in T plus a vowel plus P, and WARDROP stands alone.

WI- opens six of the ten words, WA- opens two and WO- opens two. Every one uses seven tiles, so a rack play earns the 50-point bingo bonus.

Why are the scores so high?

The average of 14.7 comes from the 4-point W at the start and the 3-point P at the end, plus a K in the top three. WICKYUP makes 21 with the 5-point K and the 4-point Y, and WICKIUP makes 18.

WORKTOP makes 16, WORSHIP and WARSHIP make 15, and WINGTIP and WARDROP make 13. WIRETAP, WINESAP and WINESOP finish on 12.

Five of the ten score 15 or more: WICKYUP, WICKIUP, WORKTOP, WORSHIP and WARSHIP. That is half the list.

Which ones are safe to play?

Tip

WICKIUP, WICKYUP, WARSHIP and WORSHIP are in Collins, NWL2023 and ENABLE alike. ENABLE has only 7 of the 10 words, so check the rarer ones, such as WARDROP and WINESOP, in that list.
