Why OX words matter

Words containing OX are handy for Scrabble, Words with Friends and word puzzles — filter the list above by length to find the play you need.

This list by the numbers

A few numbers before you scroll: the 815 words here run from 2 to 15 letters, with 9-letter words the largest group (130 entries). Wordle players have 35 five-letter options, and there are 102 seven-letter candidates for a Scrabble bingo. The single best scorer is OXYPHENBUTAZONE at 41 points before multipliers.

For quick reference, the top of the score table reads: OXYPHENBUTAZONE (41), HYDROXYZINES (38), HYDROXYZINE (37), PHOTOOXIDIZING (37), PHOTOOXIDIZED (36). DECARBOXYLATING (15 letters) stretches furthest, while the list-wide average score sits near 21 points. If you are fishing for these words, keep O (815 appearances), X (815) and I (503) on your rack.

Three words worth learning first

Playing ANOXIA across a double-word square turns its base 13 points into 26 — solid value for 6 tiles.
OXALIS — a 6-letter, 13-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.
OXTAIL earns 13 points from just 6 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.

Once those stick, file away the next tier too: OXTERS (13), TOXINE (13), TOXINS (13), DIOXAN (14), DIOXIN (14).

One chunk, many words: OX

If you are studying English, OX is a high-leverage chunk: instead of memorising each word cold, anchor the OX pattern and let the surrounding letters vary. Word-game players get a parallel benefit — when a crossword grid or a Wordle guess reveals the OX sequence, this page is the complete candidate pool, already sorted by Scrabble value.
