Holding a rack rather than browsing? Most games are won at four, six, and seven tiles, so start with the 4 Letter Word Finder, the 6 Letter Word Finder, or the 7 Letter Word Finder, then pick any other length below.
This page holds all 151 four letter words that start with E, one of the shorter first letter lists at this length and a handy one when your rack is loaded with vowels. The words run from everyday picks like EACH, EASY, and EDGE to the point heavy EXAM at the far end. Enter your tiles in the filter above and only the plays you can actually make stay on screen.
A short but useful list
E is not a crowded opener at four letters, and that is exactly what makes this page quick to work through. A recognizable group clusters behind a few openings: EA words such as EACH, EARN, EARS, EASE, EAST, and EATS, and short vowel picks like ECHO, ELSE, EONS, and ERAS. Scan those groups first and you will have covered a good part of the list before you reach anything unusual. EMIT, EDIT, ENDS, and EPIC round out the common core.
Opening a Wordle grid with E
When a green E lands in the first slot, this is the page to browse. EACH, EAST, EDIT, and EPIC give you common follow up letters, while EASY, ECHO, and EMIT push into different vowel and consonant territory for a second guess. ELMS and ELKS help when you have narrowed the middle, and ENVY tests two less frequent letters at once. Filter by anything you have already confirmed and the candidates shrink to a readable handful.
Where the points sit
The E tile is worth one point, so scores depend on the company it keeps. EXAM, EXEC, and EXPO top the list at 13 each, all carrying the heavy X. A cluster of X words fills the next rung, EAUX, EXES, EXIT, and EXON at 11 apiece. After those, EFFS, EMYD, and ENVY reach 10. These are the words to hold for when a triple square is open and you want an E play that actually moves the score.
How the count is made
Every figure on this page is recomputed from a single pinned dictionary on each build, the same file the search tool reads, so the count and the filtered results can never disagree. If a total looks smaller than a rival site, that is the honest YAWL figure, and the dictionary page explains the source list, its license, and its full tables. To rearrange a full rack instead of browsing, hand your letters to the four letter word finder.
