Word lists › Vowel-heavy words
Four- and five-letter words that are mostly vowels
Too many vowels is the most common bad rack. A two-letter word like AA or OE clears two of them; these clear three or four in one turn.
Below are all the four-letter words with three vowels and the five-letter words with four, from the North American list. Y doesn't count as a vowel here.
