High-scoring two-letter words
These 8 words are worth 9 points or more before bonuses: JO (11), QI (11), ZA (11), XU (10), AX (9), EX (9), OX (9), XI (9). Placed so that a high-value letter lands on a triple letter square and forms two words at once, a two-letter play can outscore a long word. The Crossplay solver finds these parallel plays for you.
Where this list comes from
Crossplay uses the North American NASPA Word List 2023, which allows 107 two-letter words (TheWordFinder: Crossplay vs Scrabble (September 24, 2026)). Two-letter words valid only in the Collins list used outside North America, such as CH, DI, KO and ZO, are not playable. You can check any word with the Crossplay word checker.
