Words with the letter P

The letter P is a moderately high-scoring consonant in Scrabble, worth 3 points. It’s a common letter in English, making it a reliable tile to work with during the game. Short words like pa, pi, and up are especially handy for scoring in tight spaces and for creating parallel plays. Since P often appears at the beginning of words, it’s great for building off existing letters on the board and setting up future plays. Placing P on a double or triple letter score can significantly boost your points, even with shorter words.

To get the most out of the letter P, look for opportunities to form longer or higher-scoring words like play, plot, pearl, or prize. P also works well in common prefixes like pre-, post-, or pro-, which makes it useful for extending words and maximizing board coverage. It pairs effectively with high-value letters like H and Y to form powerful plays like physic or phony. By understanding its placement potential and combining it with strong word choices, the letter P can be a consistent contributor to your Scrabble success.
