Words with the letter Z

The letter Z is one of the highest-scoring tiles in Scrabble, worth 10 points, making it a valuable asset when used correctly. Although it appears less frequently in English words, the letter Z can dramatically boost your score, especially when placed on double or triple letter and word score squares. Short words like za, zo, and zip are essential to know for quick plays, helping you use the Z tile even in tight spots. Mastering these short Z words can give you a strategic edge and help avoid getting stuck with the tile.

To effectively use the letter Z, focus on longer words such as buzz, fizz, zebra, or zone that can yield high points when combined with premium squares. Z often appears at the beginning or end of words, making it useful for hooking onto existing words and maximizing scoring opportunities. Being familiar with a broad range of Z words and playing patiently until the right moment can turn this challenging letter into a game-changing move. With smart placement and vocabulary knowledge, the letter Z can help you dominate the Scrabble board.
