3 Letter Words Containing Z

3 Letter “Z” Words

This list contains all 3 letter Scrabble words containing the letter Z that are valid in the dictionary.

• Top-scoring: Zzz is worth a total of 30 points thanks to the triple Z combination. It is used to represent the sound of somebody sleeping or snoring.
• Lowest-scoring: Zen, Zit, Zoo, Tiz, Zee and many more. They are the lowest-scoring three-letter Z words, but in comparison to other letters still fetch a high score at 12 points each.
• Expert advice: the highest-scoring of the Z words aren’t always as they appear on the surface. For example, “Zzz” as I discussed above will never score you 30 points. This is because the tile distribution in Scrabble only allows for one Z character. Consequently, the remaining Zs must be made up of blank characters which score 0 points. This caps Zzz’s score down at only 10 points, shockingly lower than the lowest-scoring Z words I listed above. So watch out for words containing more than one Z.
