Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) are essential building blocks of every English word.

Vowels are worth only 1 point each, but you can't make words without them! Balance your rack with 2-3 vowels for best results.

Start with words containing multiple vowels like AUDIO, ADIEU, or OUIJA to quickly identify which vowels are in the answer.

Every word needs vowels! When stuck, try common vowel patterns like -TION, -ING, -ABLE, -IOUS.

Learn words rich in vowels (QUEUE, IOUEA) and words with minimal vowels (RHYTHM, MYTHS) to expand your toolkit.

Some words use Y as a vowel: MYTH, LYNCH, GYPSY, RHYTHM, SYZYGY.

The five main English vowels are A, E, I, O, and U. The letter Y sometimes acts as a vowel (as in "gym" or "happy").

E is the most common vowel and the most common letter overall in English, appearing in about 12.7% of all words.

Very few! Most "vowel-less" words use Y as a vowel substitute: MYTH, GYM, SYNC, CRYPT, LYMPH, RHYTHM, and the longest: RHYTHMS.

Common high-vowel words include QUEUE (4 vowels, 5 letters), SEQUOIA (5 vowels, 7 letters), and IOUEA (5 vowels, 5 letters - a type of sponge).
