Scrabble Tile Name Generator

Scrabble tile names are the words that make the most of the letter values printed on the tiles. In English Scrabble, Q and Z are worth 10, J and X are worth 8, K is 5, and F, H, V, W and Y are 4, so a four-letter word like QUIZ (10+1+1+10) is worth 22 before any bonus squares, more than a nine-letter word made from one-point letters. Doubling the rare tiles pays off even more: JAZZ is 29 on face value, though in a standard set the second Z has to be a blank, and PIZZAZZ is famous for needing three blanks nobody has.

Serious players memorise the short words that unload rare tiles in tight spots: QI, ZA, XU, JO, QAT, ZAX, ZEK, plus the Q-without-U list (QOPH, QAID, FAQIR, NIQAB, TRANQ, QAJAQ, UMIAQ) that turns a stuck Q into 20 points. Longer showpieces like QUIXOTIC, MAXIMIZE, JUKEBOX and SYZYGY score high and look great spelled out in wooden tiles.

Every entry here is a real dictionary word valid in Collins Scrabble Words or the NWL, which makes the list useful three ways: as tile-letter wall art or gift words, as gamertags and team names for word-game players (JINX, ZAP, PROXY, MOXIE), and as a study list of the plays that win real games. Longer entries and slang words may vary between the North American and international dictionaries.
