5 letter words containing K
There are 885 5-letter words containing K in the ENABLE dictionary — 10% of all 8,636 words at this length. At 5 points, K is worth more than most tiles without being awkward enough to hold back for — it is generally better placed than saved.
The K falls in the fourth position more often than any other, in 310 of them. 32 of them use the letter more than once — dekko, hokku, kaiak, kakas among them, which is the case worth checking twice when a game has told you a letter is present but not how many times.
If you know more than one letter, this page stops being the fast way to find it. Enter what you have in the unscrambler — the Contains, Starts with and Ends with filters combine, and setting both length fields to 5 narrows this list to the handful your letters actually allow.
