Words With Z In Them

The main reason most people are interested in learning a list of words that includes the letter Z is for use in one of the popular word games like Scrabble. Z is one of the most challenging letters in the English language to use because it just isn't in that many words. Most good players memorize a list of words so they can use them when they need to.

In addition to learning a list of words, it is always useful to know the short ones first. This is because in many games you only have a certain number of letters to work with. Memorizing 2 letter, 3 letter and 4 letter words is the best place to start. Here is some more information so you can get started right away. Before you know it you will impress your friends with your new expanded vocabulary.

As Words

At this time there is exactly one two-letter word that is legal to use in Scrabble that has a Z in it. The word is Zo and it is a certain breed of cattle. In some word games you may also be able to use Oz, like in the Wizard of Oz, but it isn't usable in all games. Just this one word can be the difference between winning and losing, so it is pretty important. There is almost always an O available on the board so keep an eye out the next time you have a Z.

Popular 3 letter words include the following. Adz, Azo, Biz, Coz, Fez, Fiz, Lez, Wiz, Zag, Zap, Zax, Zed, Zee, Zek, Zig, Zin, Zip, Zit, Zoa and Zoo. As you can see many of these can be almost as useful as Zo. It is not an overwhelming list and with a little effort you should be able to memorize it in a short time. If you are having trouble learning this or any other list, break it down into smaller parts and just learn a few at a time.

There are also quite a few 4-letter words available for use. Here is a short list of some of them. It is not a complete list. If you are looking for a complete list they can be easily found by searching on the Internet. Popular four letter words include Bozo, Buzz, Daze, Doze, Faze, Fizz, Fuze, Gaze, Haze, Hazy, Lazy, Maze, Nazi, Ooze, Putz, Raze, Ritz, Size, Zany, Zips and Zone. If you memorize these lists you will only need to read back over them every once in a while to keep them fresh in your mind.
