Words with the letter K

The letter K is a moderately high-scoring tile in Scrabble, worth 5 points, making it a valuable asset when played strategically. While it isn’t as common as some other consonants, there are still plenty of solid word options that include K. Short words like ka, ki, and ark can be extremely helpful in tight spaces and are useful for making parallel plays. Because of its high point value, placing K on a double or triple letter score tile can significantly boost your score—even in small words. Knowing a good mix of short and medium-length K words is key to using this tile effectively.

To maximize the value of the letter K, look for opportunities to extend existing words or build new ones that connect with premium spaces on the board. Words like kite, kink, bake, and knock are great for scoring, especially when placed on double or triple word scores. Keep in mind that K often appears at the beginning or end of words, so plan ahead and try to line it up where it can do the most damage. With the right timing and word knowledge, the letter K can help you gain a strong edge over your Scrabble opponents.
