Which letters are worth the most points in Scrabble?

Q and Z are worth 10 points each, the highest value in standard Scrabble, reflecting how rare and hard to use they are.

Do blank tiles score points?

No, a blank tile scores zero points regardless of which letter it represents, even though it can complete an otherwise unplayable word.

Is the longest word always the best play?

Not necessarily. A shorter word that lands a high-value letter on a double or triple score square can outscore a longer word made of common, low-value letters.

About this Scrabble Word Finder

Finding the highest-scoring play from a rack of Scrabble tiles means balancing word length, letter value, and board position — a longer word isn't automatically the best play if it uses low-value letters and misses a premium square.

Letter values in standard Scrabble

Common letters (A, E, I, O, U, L, N, S, T, R) are worth 1 point each. Mid-value letters like D and G are worth 2, while B, C, M, P are worth 3. High-value letters climb from there: F, H, V, W, Y at 4 points, K at 5, J and X at 8, and Q and Z at 10 — the two rarest, highest-value letters in the game.

Wildcards (blank tiles)

Blank tiles can represent any letter but score zero points regardless of which letter they substitute for. They're most valuable for completing an otherwise-impossible high-value word, or for reaching a bonus square, even though they don't add to the point total directly.

Premium squares change the optimal play

Double and triple letter/word score squares can make a shorter word worth more than a longer one, if the shorter word lands a high-value letter (like Q or Z) on a multiplier square. This is why competitive Scrabble play often favors board position over raw word length.
