About You Go Words!
An independent word-reference site for word-game players, teachers, writers and the curious.
What this site is
You Go Words! is a dictionary and word-list explorer built on a lexicon of more than half a million entries. Every word links to a full reference page with definitions, usage examples, syllables, pronunciation, synonyms, rhymes, anagrams and its scores in Scrabble® and Words With Friends®.
The lists are the heart of the site: words by length, by starting letter, by ending, by syllable count, by part of speech and by Scrabble point value — plus a word finder that combines those filters and takes you straight to the matching list.
A little history
You Go Words! has existed as a word-research project since 2014. In 2026 the site was rebuilt from the ground up — a new design, a faster engine and a cleaner dictionary — while keeping the word lists and addresses that readers have bookmarked and linked to over the years.
Where the data comes from
The dictionary is compiled from established open lexical datasets — most notably the WordNet lexical database for definitions and word relationships, joined with word-frequency corpora, phonetic data for syllables and pronunciation, and computed game scores. You can read more about how entries are built and checked on the publishing principles page.
Found a mistake?
Dictionaries are living things and no word list is ever finished. If an entry looks wrong or a list is missing a word you expected, please get in touch — corrections are genuinely welcome.
