Are ‘QI’, ‘XI’, and ‘ZI’ Words that Can be Used in Scrabble?
There are two-letter words that use ‘Q’, ‘X’, and ‘Z’ that are valid and some that are not valid and cannot be used in Scrabble. See below for more details.
Is ‘Qi’ a Word?
You will be happy to know that “Qi” is indeed a valid word to use in Scrabble. This two-word letter is particularly notable as the only two-letter word with ‘Q’ that you can play in Scrabble or Words With Friends.
In Scrabble, “qi” is worth 11 points by itself, not counting bonus squares or other words it might form. The word “qi” refers to “the vital force that in Chinese thought is inherent in all things”.
Is ‘Xi’ a Word?
What about ‘Xi’? Yes, “xi” is a valid word in Scrabble. It refers to the 14th letter of the Greek alphabet and scores 9 points in both Scrabble and Words with Friends.
This makes “xi” a useful word for players, especially given its high point value for such a short word.
Is ‘Zi’ a Word?
Unfortunately, unlike ‘Xi’ or ‘Qi’, the word’ Zi’ is not valid in Scrabble. While there are many two-letter words that are allowed in Scrabble, “zi” is not among them. The options you have with the letter Z and another vowel are ‘Za’ and ‘Zo’.
The word “Za” is a valid word in Scrabble. It is a slang term for pizza and is worth 11 points, with 10 points for the letter Z and 1 point for the letter A. “Za” is also the most played word containing the letter Z in tournament Scrabble play. The word ‘Zo’ refers to a Tibetan breed of cattle, a cross between a yak and a cow.
‘Za’ and ‘Zo’ are the only two-letter words starting with ‘Z’ that are recognized in the standard Scrabble dictionary.
Conclusion
Remember, each word you play in Scrabble must be found in the official Scrabble dictionary to be considered valid. Furthermore, the availability of words can vary depending on the version of the Scrabble dictionary you are using (e.g., US/UK editions). Good luck with your next game play!
