Game Strategy

-ER is a versatile Scrabble ending: it turns verbs into agent nouns (BAKE → BAKER) and adjectives into comparatives (FAST → FASTER), often reaching bingo length.

Going Deeper

Two big families end in -ER: agent nouns (TEACHER, MAKER, WRITER, PLAYER) and comparatives (FASTER, LONGER, BIGGER). Both are productive, so -ER pairs with a huge number of stems — which makes it, like -ING and -ED, a frequent route to a seven-letter bingo. The R and E are common tiles, so you will often hold the makings of an -ER play. Feed your rack to the unscrambler to list every valid one.

How to Use

1. Open the Word Unscrambler
2. Type your available letters (use ? or * for blank tiles)
3. Apply the starts-with, ends-with, or contains filter to match this pattern

More Word-Ending Lists

How many words end in -ER?

The ENABLE word list contains 7,487 words ending in -ER, one of the biggest suffix families in the language. This page groups them by length so the playable short ones come first. Both letters are among the most common tiles, so you will hold them frequently. Use the unscrambler to find the ones your own letters can make.

What kinds of words end in -ER?

Words ending in -ER fall into two big families: agent nouns naming someone or something that performs an action (TEACHER, MAKER, WRITER, PLAYER, TOASTER) and comparative adjectives (FASTER, LONGER, BIGGER, WISER). A third, smaller group is root words that simply end in -ER, such as WATER, OTHER, RIVER and SUGAR. All three are common in English and valid in word games. Knowing which family a word belongs to helps you spot related plays.

Is -ER a good Scrabble ending?

The -ER ending is a strong Scrabble ending because it attaches to a huge base of verbs and adjectives, which makes it a frequent route to a seven-letter bingo. E and R are also two of the most plentiful tiles in the bag, so the combination turns up often. The downside is that both letters are worth only 1 point, so the score comes from length and premiums rather than tile value. Pair the ending with a high-value stem where you can.

When do I double a letter before -ER?

A final consonant doubles before -ER under the same rule as -ING: a single vowel plus a single consonant with the stress on the last syllable, so BIG becomes BIGGER and HOT becomes HOTTER. Verbs and adjectives ending in a silent E just add R, as in WISE becoming WISER. A final Y usually changes to I, giving HAPPY and HAPPIER. Those three rules cover nearly every case you will meet on this page.
