Frequently asked questions
How many 4-letter words are there?
Our dictionary has 4360 four-letter words, 2143 of them common everyday words. Browse by first or last letter above, or type the letters you hold into the word unscrambler to see what they make.
What are 4-letter words good for?
Short words carry a lot of weight in Scrabble and Words With Friends, where they open parallel plays and hook onto existing tiles. They also fill crossword grids and solve the four-letter modes of Wordle-style puzzle games.
Are all of these valid in Scrabble?
Not necessarily. Our lists come from a general English dictionary rather than an official tournament word list, so rare entries may be rejected. The Scrabble word finder ranks the playable ones by score for your rack.
