Essential High-Scoring 2-Letter Words
Short words pack serious punch. These 2-letter words use high-value tiles and are essential for tight board positions, parallel plays, and maximizing every turn.
XI
9 pts
14th letter of the Greek alphabet. Works perfectly with X!
XU
9 pts
Vietnamese monetary unit. Another great X option!
ZA
11 pts
Slang for pizza. Uses the 10-point Z tile effectively!
AX 9
EX 9
OX 9
JO 9
ZO 11

Bingo Bonus
Use all 7 tiles in one turn for a massive 50-point bonus!
"The highest recorded single-word score in competition is 392 points for CAZIQUES. But you don't need exotic words—strategic placement of common high-value letters often wins games."
Bonus Square Strategy
Bonus squares multiply your score dramatically. Placing high-value letters strategically on these squares is the key to winning.
| Square Type | Effect | Example with Z (10 pts) |
|---|---|---|
| DL Double Letter | Tile value × 2 | Z = 20 pts |
| TL Triple Letter | Tile value × 3 | Z = 30 pts |
| DW Double Word | Word score × 2 | ZA (11) = 22 pts |
| TW Triple Word | Word score × 3 | ZA (11) = 33 pts |
🎯 Pro Strategy: Combine Bonuses
Letter bonuses apply before word bonuses. If you place Z on a Triple Letter square and the word hits a Double Word square:
Z (10 × 3 = 30) + A (1) = 31 × 2 = 62 points for "ZA"!
Pro Scoring Tips
🎯
Target Bonus Squares
Place high-value letters (Q, Z, X, J) on Triple Letter or Double Letter squares. A single Z on TL scores 30 points before the word is even counted.

Learn Q-Without-U Words

Use Parallel Plays
Play words parallel to existing words, creating multiple 2-letter combinations. This lets you score for several words in a single turn—often 30-50+ points.

Aim for Bingos
Using all 7 tiles earns a 50-point bonus. Study 7 and 8-letter words containing common letter combinations like -ING, -TION, and -ABLE.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the highest-scoring word in Scrabble? ▼
Theoretically, OXYPHENBUTAZONE could score 1,778 points if played across three Triple Word squares with perfect setup—but this has never been achieved. The highest single-word score in actual competition is 392 points for CAZIQUES. For practical play, focus on short, high-value words like QUIZ (22 pts), QI (11 pts), and JAZZY (33 pts).
How can I find high-scoring words from my letters? ▼
Use our Word Unscrambler tool! Enter your rack letters and instantly see all possible words sorted by point value. The tool shows Scrabble points for each word, helping you identify your highest-scoring options. You can also filter by word length to find bingo opportunities.
Which letters are worth the most points? ▼
Q and Z are worth 10 points each—the highest in the game. J and X are worth 8 points each. K is worth 5 points, while F, H, V, W, and Y are worth 4 points each. Placing these on Double or Triple Letter squares multiplies their value significantly.
What is a bingo in Scrabble? ▼
A bingo is when you use all 7 tiles from your rack in a single play, earning a 50-point bonus on top of the word's base score. Seven and eight-letter words are ideal for bingos. Our Word Unscrambler highlights bingo-length words to help you spot these opportunities. Check our top 7-letter words.
What are the best 2-letter high-scoring words? ▼
The highest-scoring 2-letter words are QI (11 points), ZA (11 points), ZO (11 points), XI (9 points), XU (9 points), AX (9 points), EX (9 points), OX (9 points), and JO (9 points). These are essential for tight board positions and parallel plays where longer words won't fit.
How do bonus squares multiply scores? ▼
Double Letter (DL) squares multiply a single tile's value by 2. Triple Letter (TL) squares multiply by 3. Double Word (DW) squares double the entire word's score, and Triple Word (TW) squares triple it. Letter bonuses apply before word bonuses—so a Z (10 pts) on TL in a word hitting DW scores (10×3 + other letters) × 2.
