Vowel-Heavy Six-Letter Words for Scrabble

When your Scrabble rack is filled with vowels, you may think there's nothing you can do. It can be just as troublesome as having a rack with zero vowels. Don't despair! Simply look to these six-letter, vowel-heavy words to turn your fortune around.

All of these words include at least four vowels. Though vowel tiles may only be worth one point each—and these words may not be the highest scoring on the board—they will help clear your rack!

Aaliis to Azalea

An "A" tile or two can be your best chance of getting rid of some vowels. This is one of the longest lists you'll find. Look carefully and you can say "adieux" (13 points, farewell) to those vowels without spending an "aeonic" (8 points, indefinitely long) amount of time on your turn.

Bailee to Bureau

• DAIMIO
• DAUTIE
• DEARIE
• DOOLEE
• DOOLIE
• DOOZIE

Easier to Exuvia

An "E" or two will make it far "easier" (6 points, not difficult) to score some points and may even provide a "eureka" (9 points, triumphant discovery) moment! This vowel also offers the opportunity to get rid of some hard (high scoring) letters, like the "X" in "exuvia" (16 points, molted exoskeleton) and the "Z" in "epizoa" (17 points, beings that live on an animal).

Faerie to Foveae

There's no need to get "flooie" (9 points, off track) with an "F" in your rack. Get rid of those vowels with the help of a "faerie" (9 points, mystical being) or some "faunae" (9 points, plural of fauna) and wrap up the game so you can play "footie" (9 points, British slang for soccer).

• HEINIE
• HOAGIE
• HOODIE
• HOODOO
• HOOLIE
• HOOPOE

Ideate to Iodous

Building off the "iodine" (7 points, nonmetallic element) base, you can wipe out a pair of "I"s and a few other vowels in no time, depending on the consonants you have. That should make the "iguana" (7 points, tropical lizard) pretty happy, don't you think?

• IDEATE
• IGUANA
• IODATE
• IODIDE
• IODINE
• IODISE
• IODIZE
• IODOUS

Koodoo to Louies

All those vowels may be turning you a little "kookie" (14 points, crazy). End this game soon so you and your opponent don't' end up as "lamiae" (8 points, mythical female demons). It may require a "liaise" (6 points, mutually beneficial working relationship) on everyone's part.

Ubique to Uvulae

Among all the vowels, "U" is the most difficult to place at the beginning of a word. But, if you study your pieces long enough you may find "utopia" (8 points, perfect place) in "unique" (15 points, unusual) but not "uveous" (9 points, obsolete) words like "uraeus" (6 points, a sacred asp in ancient Egyptian art).
