Word lists
Words starting with X
Every word in the Clue Cache dictionary that starts with X: 64 words, from xanthate to xyster. Spelling Bee players scan it when X sits in the hive, Scrabble players mine it for openings, and crossword constructors use it when the first letter of a slot is already fixed in place. Most of these are short, high-value plays, which is why this list is studied hard.

About this word list
This list comes from the same SCOWL-based dictionary as the Clue Cache solvers. The games edit their own word lists by hand, so a word here is not a promise that Scrabble, Words With Friends or the NYT accepts it, and a game may accept a rare word this list misses. For a specific day, see today's Spelling Bee and today's Wordle.
