Words with the letter D

The letter D might not be the flashiest tile on your Scrabble rack, but it’s one of the most versatile and valuable when played strategically. Worth 2 points, D offers a solid return without being too rare to use often. It appears in countless common words, particularly as a past tense suffix—think played, called, or jumped. This makes it a great tile for building off existing words on the board. If another player lays down jump, for instance, you can easily turn it into jumped and score extra points by adding just one letter.

Another smart way to use D in Scrabble is by forming two-letter words like do, id, or ad, which can help you squeeze into tight spaces and score on multiple words at once. You can also use D as a hook—adding it to the end of a word like care to make cared, or at the front of a word like art to make dart. Since D shows up in many prefixes and suffixes, it’s incredibly useful for extending words and maximizing your play. While it may not have the high value of a Q or Z, D is one of those dependable letters that quietly helps rack up points when used wisely.
