What you can type into Words With Double Letters
- Which letter
- Leave it blank for any doubled letter, or enter one letter to see only that pair — L for words containing LL. Only the first letter you type is used.
- Length
- Optional exact letter count.
How the results behave
- Adjacent letters only
- A word qualifies when the same letter appears twice in a row, as in hello or coffee. A letter repeated apart, as in banana, does not count.
- One pair is enough
- Words with two different doubles, such as bookkeeper, appear once in the list.
Tips
- Filter by a single letter to build a targeted spelling exercise — double-L and double-S words are the usual trouble spots.
- Combine a letter with a length to keep a classroom list short enough to read aloud.
Common mistakes
- Expecting words such as banana, where the repeats are not next to each other.
- Typing two letters in the filter; only the first is used.
About the words with double letters
Spelling teachers building practice lists, puzzle setters, and word-game players who have drawn a pair of matching tiles.
Double letters are one of the most common causes of spelling mistakes in English, because the rules for when a consonant doubles before a suffix are irregular.
In word games, spotting a likely double letter early often unlocks a slot: “ll”, “ss”, “ee” and “oo” are by far the most frequent pairs.
Accuracy and limitations
- Results come from this site's own list of about 16,750 words drawn from common written English. It is not an official game or tournament dictionary: rare, technical and inflected words can be missing, while some names, place names and abbreviations are included even though most word games would reject them. Always check a result against the rules of the game you are playing.
Frequently asked questions
Does this include letters repeated apart, like in “banana”?
No. Only consecutive repeats such as the “nn” in “dinner” count here.
Can I search for a specific doubled letter?
Yes. Enter a single letter in the doubled-letter field, for example l for words with “ll”.
