Quickly explore words that begin with each common prefix. Great for learning, solving puzzles, or expanding vocabulary.
Prefixes are powerful word parts that attach to the beginning of a root word and alter its meaning. Learning them helps you decode unfamiliar words, enhance reading comprehension, and build academic vocabulary. On Wordsies, we've made it easy to navigate hundreds of useful prefixes by their first letter, making this a handy tool for both casual learners and serious language explorers.
Words like “rewrite,” “preview,” and “disconnect” all begin with prefixes that shift the original meaning. Knowing common prefixes like re-, pre-, dis-, un-, sub-, and anti- gives you an advantage in school, professional communication, and even competitive word games. These prefixes signal time, negation, position, or repetition and are cornerstones of many common English words.
This prefix index is optimized for quick loading and easy access on any device. Use it to teach students new vocabulary, find words for your next puzzle challenge, or explore etymology on your own. Whether you’re writing a story or solving an anagram, having a solid grip on prefixes will help you work smarter with words.
