Answer 2

Unusual Scrabble Words

Answer 3

In addition to the long list that some people provided, there are 5 new 2 letter words that were made legal with the 4th edition of the OSPD.

FE A Hebrew Letter
KI The vital force in Chinese Thought
OI used to express dismay or pain
QI The vital force in Chinese Thought is inherent in all things
ZA A Pizza

QI and ZA are the two new powerhouse 2 letter words, because they use 10 point tiles.

Answer 4

There are a 120 2 letter words. If you are willing to learn anything specifically for playing Scrabble then these are the most important words to learn. They are useful to create parallel plays or for squeezing in a good play on a blocked board.

In fact you won't need to learn all of them, as 27 are everyday words like IT, IN etc., which leaves 93. Then there are interjections, contracted forms, tonic sol-fa and letter sounds which you will know but might not think are acceptable plays in Scrabble. These include:

AD, AH, AR, AW, BI, ED, EF, EH, EL, EM, EN, ER, ES, EX, FA, HA, HM, HO, LA, LO, MA, MI, MM, MO, OH, OO, OP, OW, PA, PO, RE, SH, ST, TA, TI, UG, UH, UM, UN, UR, YO.

That's another 41, only 52 to go now! You might even know some of these, for example OM (an intoned Hindu sacred symbol) or PI (mathematical symbol) but you'll probably just have to learn the rest. When you play with them regularly they will soon become second nature. They are:

AA, AB, AE, AG, AI, AL, AX, AY, BA, BO, CH, DA, DE, DI, EA, EE, ET FY, GI, GU, ID, IO, JO, KA, KO, KY, LI, MU, NA, NE, NU, NY, OB, OD, OE, OI, OM, OS, OU, OY, PE, PH, PI, QI, SI, TE, UT, WO, XI, XU, YA, YU, ZO.

All these words can be found in The Chambers Dictionary (1998 Edition) and in Chambers Official Scrabble Words both published by Chambers Harrap Publishers Ltd., 7 Hopetoun Crescent, Edinburgh, EH7 4AY. Telephone: [phone].
