Is “Zo” a Scrabble Word?

Zo, a word for a Tibetan breed of cattle, is an acceptable word according to the Scrabble dictionary. When successfully played in games, players will gain 11 points in total from it.

We love the word zo in Scrabble as it’s an amazingly easy way to play the letter "Z" tile as it only requires one extra letter. This is excellent for players who get stuck with the "Z" character or for those who pick up the "Z" late in the game and therefore may be short on options.

Zo can be extended in many ways, but we personally like the words "Zoo" and "Azo" as similarly easy options for playing off this word. Alternative "Z" words that are only two letters long include "Za" a shorthand for pizza and "Ze" a gender-neutral pronoun.

Short words that utilise a high-scoring letter tile like zo carry a large amount of potential for picking up easy points through multiplier squares. Because of this, we'd recommend keeping zo at the top of your memory for future games.
