The letter B is a valuable consonant in Scrabble, worth 3 points, making it a solid tile for scoring opportunities. Because B is less common than some other letters, it can sometimes be tricky to play, but knowing a range of words that include B can make a big difference. Short words like be, bi, and ab are essential for fitting into tight spaces and creating multiple word combinations. To maximize your score, try to place B on double or triple letter score tiles, which can quickly multiply its value and help you rack up points.
Another effective strategy when playing B is to use it to form prefixes and suffixes that extend existing words. For example, adding B to at to form bat or ab to form abs can open up new opportunities on the board. Knowing two- and three-letter words with B is especially helpful in tight spots where longer words won’t fit. With careful planning, you can turn this seemingly tricky letter into a powerful tool that helps control the board and boosts your overall score.
