About the Word WELCOME

WELCOME is a 7-letter word containing 2 vowels (E, O — with E appearing twice) and 5 consonants (W, L, C, M). It works as a noun, verb, adjective, and interjection, which makes it one of the more versatile words in English. It comes from Old English wilcuma, meaning "a desired guest" — literally "one whose coming is pleasing."

Tips for Unscrambling Words Like WELCOME

  1. Separate vowels from consonants. With E, E, and O, look for common patterns like -OME, -OLE, and -EE.
  2. Spot common endings. The letters here form the frequent endings -OME (COME), -OLE (COLE, MOLE), and -EW (CLEW, MEW).
  3. Watch for the duplicate E. A repeated letter means words like EWE and LEE, which use the same letter twice, are in play.
  4. Don't forget unusual short words. CWM — a Welsh-derived word for a mountain valley — uses no standard vowels at all and scores 10 points, making it one of the best-value plays hidden in WELCOME.
  5. Work up from short words. Find 2- and 3-letter cores first (OWE, LOW), then try extending them (OWE → the -OWE sound in nothing longer here, but LOW → COWL by rearranging).
