This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on
Combinatorics on Words WORDS 2015 held in Kiel Germany in September 2015 under the auspices
of the EATCS. The 14 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 22
submissions. The main object in the contributions are words finite or infinite sequences of
symbols over a finite alphabet. The papers reflect both theoretical contributions related to
combinatorial algebraic and algorithmic aspects of words as well as to contributions
presenting applications of the theory of words in other field of computer science linguistics
biology bioinformatics or physics.
