Words With X

Every common word with X in it, grouped by length, shortest first.

X sits in 4,482 words of our dictionary, 815 of them common, and it is far more often inside or at the end of a word than at the front: ax, ox, box, fox, six, tax, wax, then apex, axis, exam, exit, next, taxi, text. The biggest family is the EX- words, exact, exist, extra, exile and hundreds of longer ones, with the -EX and -IX endings next: index, latex, annex, affix. In a five-letter game that puts an X in play, the X is usually second (exact, exist, extra, exile) or last (index, latex, affix, annex); the Words with X finder takes the letters around it.

4,482 words: 815 common, 701 everyday and 2,966 rare, which the Word Finder lists. Narrow them down with the Words with X finder.
