Hooking with -ID words

Endings like -ID let you tack a word onto a tile already on the board, often turning a small play into a big one. Look for the high-value entries above to maximise points.

This list by the numbers

Inside this list: 698 words spanning 3–14 letters. The biggest cluster sits at 8 letters (168 words), 64 entries are Wordle-sized at five letters, and 157 run to seven — bingo length if you can empty the rack. For points, the ceiling is ISOCARBOXAZID, worth 34.

The five biggest scorers on the page: ISOCARBOXAZID (34), HYPERTHYROID (27), HYPOCYCLOID (27), HYPOTHYROID (26), SPERMATOZOID (26). ALLOTETRAPLOID (14 letters) stretches furthest, while the list-wide average score sits near 13 points. If you are fishing for these words, keep I (698 appearances), D (698) and O (415) on your rack.

Start with these three

Playing INLAID across a double-word square turns its base 7 points into 14 — solid value for 6 tiles.
NEREID is easy to keep in memory: 6 letters, 7 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.
NITRID — a 6-letter, 7-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.

Five more everyday options from the same list: RELAID (7), RESAID (7), SIALID (7), STOLID (7), TINEID (7).

Back-hooking with -ID

When the board tightens up late in a Scrabble game, -ID words keep you scoring: they attach to existing letters instead of needing seven clean tiles. Crossword solvers use the same trick in reverse — if the grid gives you the last letters, this list is the candidate pool. Check the length filter in the Word Finder to match your open squares exactly.
