Words with the letter U

The letter U is a vital vowel in Scrabble, worth 1 point, and it plays an essential role in forming a wide variety of words. Because it frequently appears after the letter Q, having a good grasp of U words is key for making the most of tricky tiles. Short words like up, us, and um are handy for quick plays and tight board spaces, while longer words such as unit, usage, and unique can help rack up points when placed on premium squares. The flexibility of U allows you to connect different parts of the board and form parallel words efficiently.

Strategically, U is best used when paired with consonants like Q, L, and N to create high-scoring words. Knowing common letter combinations such as qu, un, and ul can help you build words quickly and extend existing ones. The letter U also works well in suffixes and prefixes like -ure, -ous, and un-, giving you more options to maximize your points. While U might seem simple, mastering its placement is essential to maintaining a balanced rack and enhancing your overall Scrabble strategy.
