Why Learn 3-Letter Words?

Three-letter words are the workhorses of Scrabble. They form the foundation for hooks — adding a letter to a 2-letter word to make a 3-letter one, or extending a 3-letter word with a prefix or suffix. With 1015 valid 3-letter words in the TWL dictionary, knowing even a fraction gives you a significant advantage.

High-Scoring 3-Letter Words

Some 3-letter words pack a serious scoring punch. Words like ZAX (19 pts), ZEK (16 pts), and QUA (12 pts) can turn a mediocre play into a game-changer, especially on premium squares.
