Most likely seven-letter words

According to Scrabulous ETAERIO is the most likely seven-letter word to get in Scrabble. It refers to an aggregate fruit, like a raspberry - which is actually lots of little fruits joined at their bases. Another likely word is TAENIAE - the plural of TAENIA which was an ancient Greek hairband.

Some other high-probability bingos containing five vowels, in order of likelihood, include:


AEOLIAN - relating to the wind (the image is of an aeolian harp - a harp played by the wind)
OLEARIA - daisy bush
AIERIES - eyries or eagles' nests
DOULEIA - veneration of saints in RC Church
AEONIAN - everlasting
AENEOUS - brass coloured or greenish-gold
AREOLAE - coloured rings around human nipples
AUREOLE - halo
ALIENEE - person to whom a transfer of property is made
EUGENIA - plant of the clove family
AEROBIA - organisms that require oxygen

Hi, I Love your website - it's fascinating for me to see the 'other' word list. I also have a scrabble blog that you may find entertaining - though I only concentrate on the North American variety as I can't seem to keep words separate in my head! Keep up the good work and I'll be back regularly.

Looking at your blog, its amazing how many words are allowable in both versions, but I do agree, it would be hard to learn both and keep them separate in your head!

Well I put in the seven letter word AIERIES hoping for the bonus but it was an unacceptable word in the scrabble dictionary

maybe it's because it's supposed to be spelled aeries, not aieries.

Hi Penny

AIERIES is in fact an allowable word in SOWPODS Scrabble - as is AERIES. Thank you for pointing this out!

How to play Anagrams

Anagrams is a board-free word game that involves rearranging letter tiles to form words. It is very often played 'out of hours' at Scrabble tournaments around the world. The game has various other names, in particular 'Snap Jarnac ' in the UK. The game has been sold separately as a commercial product, but at Scrabble tournaments is typically played by any number of players (typically 4-8) using two sets of Scrabble tiles of different colour. Tiles are placed face down on the table and then turned over one by one, and players form words by combining unused tiles with existing words, their own or others'. Whenever a player can form a word with the tiles in the middle of the table, possibly combined with words that he or another player has already formed, he calls out the word and uses those tiles to spell it out in front of him. If two players call out words simultaneously, the longer word prevails. All words must be at least five letters long and the new word must c
