2 and 3-Letter Scrabble Words



Here are all the two-letter words and three-letter words that are acceptable for use in Scrabble(R). I have included the TWL (Tournament Word List), a standard North American list which is used by a lot of online Scrabble-type sites, followed by the more extensive international SOWPODS list. Be sure to know which version you're playing! If you've reached this page, you probably already recognize the importance of these words for success in winning at Scrabble, especially the two-letter words. Knowing which words are acceptable - even if you have no idea of their definitions - is a perfectly legitimate strategy, and all expert players have memorized all the two-letter words and often the three-letter words as well. While doing so is not a good way to enhance your vocabulary, it is an excellent way to improve your play. Good luck! This page is part of The Phrontistery, a site dedicated to the love and study of obscure and unusual words, including the 17000+-word dictionary of rare words, the International House of Logorrhea and the Compendium of Lost Words. If you find this page helpful, you may also enjoy my glossaries of topical words, my material on numerals and numeration, my blog, Glossographia, and much more.

TWL06 This is the official list of acceptable words for American tournament play approved by the National Scrabble Association in 2006. It is based on the Official Scrabble Players' Dictionary (OSPD), with a few modifications to better reflect the rules of the game.

SOWPODS The more extensive SOWPODS list is used in the United Kingdom and in most Commonwealth countries. It is a combination of the OSPD and the old British Official Scrabble Words list, so it has many more words than the TWL list. Two-Letter Words AA AB AD AE AG AH AI AL AM AN AR AS AT AW AX AY
