Is “Re” a Scrabble Word?
Yes Re is valid in Scrabble for 2 points
Re is an acceptable Scrabble word in the dictionary, however, the bad news for players is it'll only score 2 points in total.
The term "re" can be used as a preposition meaning regarding/in reference to something. Alternatively, "re" can also be used as a noun meaning a syllable used in solfège to represent the second note of a major scale.
In Scrabble playing the word "re" alone is not very rewarding due to its low point value. Yet, the letters "R" and "E" are a great combination to have on your letter rack as they create the prefix "re-" and suffix "-er". This makes the "RE" letter combination powerful for extending existing words and going after those 7-letter bingos in your game.
