If you are playing a word game, knowing whether a word is valid is essential. Arc appears in our 370,000-word English dictionary, which includes most words accepted in Scrabble and Words With Friends. However, always check the official word list for the specific game you are playing, as different games use different dictionaries.

Wordle uses its own curated word list that is smaller than the full Scrabble dictionary. If Arc appears here, it may or may not be a valid Wordle answer — but it is a real English word regardless.
