The letter X is one of the highest-scoring tiles in Scrabble, worth 8 points. Though it’s a challenging letter due to its limited word options, mastering the use of X can give you a significant scoring advantage. Short words like ax, ex, and ox are essential to know, as they allow you to play X even when space is tight or when you lack vowels. Because of its high value, placing the letter X on double or triple letter score squares can dramatically increase your points, especially when combined with premium word score tiles.
To effectively use the letter X, focus on longer words like box, text, max, or xerox, which can rack up substantial points when played across premium squares. X also pairs well with prefixes and suffixes such as ex- or -xion, expanding your options. Knowing a solid list of X-containing words and being strategic about placement is key to maximizing this letter’s value. With practice, the letter X can become a powerful weapon in your Scrabble arsenal, helping you take control of the board and outscore your opponents.
