WordPlay: Spelling Bee words with WOMAN MAN GIRL BOY

If you cite information from this LexiConnexxions report, please give credit and a link to this page. These reports and analyses are compiled and prepared by a human being, not a machine. Thank you.
The Spelling Bee lexicon includes many words that include WOMAN, WOMEN, MAN, MEN, GIRL, and BOY. Being aware of these groups of related words can improve solving skills when the daily Bee contains the letters the combinations of letters used in these words.
The Bee lexicon includes hundreds of other words that are gender-specific (lady, duke, madam, etc.), as reported in the LexiTopic People: Individuals and Groups. And of course it also includes hundreds of words that include the letter sequences m-a-n or m-e-n, far too many to include here.
Words in ALL CAPS are pangrams. Words marked with an asterisk have been used in at least one Spelling Bee puzzle, then subsequently disallowed; they are retained here for historical interest.
