Here are all the two-letter words and three-letter words that are acceptable for use in Scrabble(R).

Be sure to know which version you're playing! If you've reached this page, you probably already recognize the importance of these words for success in winning at Scrabble, especially the two-letter words.

This page is part of The Phrontistery, a site dedicated to the love and study of obscure and unusual words, including the 17000+-word dictionary of rare words, the International House of Logorrhea and the Compendium of Lost Words. If you find this page helpful, you may also enjoy my glossaries of topical words, my material on numerals and numeration, my blog, Glossographia, and much more.
The more extensive SOWPODS list is used in the United Kingdom and in most Commonwealth countries. It is a combination of the OSPD and the old British Official Scrabble Words list, so it has many more words than the TWL list.
