Why ZA words matter

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

A quick statistical tour

A few numbers before you scroll: the 1078 words here run from 3 to 15 letters, with 14-letter words the largest group (204 entries). Wordle players have 28 five-letter options, and there are 83 seven-letter candidates for a Scrabble bingo. The single best scorer is RAZZAMATAZZES at 51 points before multipliers.

The five biggest scorers on the page: RAZZAMATAZZES (51), RAZZAMATAZZ (49), PIZAZZY (39), BEZAZZES (37), HYPNOTIZABILITY (37). The longest entry is ACCLIMATIZATION at 15 letters, and the average word here is worth about 25 points. If you are fishing for these words, keep A (1078 appearances), Z (1078) and I (858) on your rack.

Three words worth learning first

AZALEA — 6 letters for 15 points; every tile in it is a common draw, so it shows up rack after rack.
LAZARS earns 15 points from just 6 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.
SIZARS is easy to keep in memory: 6 letters, 15 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.

Round out your set with STANZA (15), TARZAN (15), ZAIRES (15), ZANANA (15), ZANIER (15) — all built from common tiles.

Learning words through ZA

Groups like this one reward a different kind of practice: pick five words of different lengths from the list above, write each in a sentence, and the ZA pattern moves into long-term memory. It is also a quiet Scrabble edge — racks that spell ZA plus common tiles come up constantly, and prepared players cash them in while others shuffle letters.
