Why Z at the End Matters

💡 Tile Value

Every word in this list already carries an Z, so you're banking 10 points before any multiplier lands on it — land it on a Double or Triple Letter Score and the swing is large.

Because Z lands last, 7-letter words ending with Z are naturally suited to hooking: adding Z onto a shorter word already on the board to build a new one on your turn.

Notable Words

Worth memorising first: SHEGETZ (20 points) is one of the lower scorers here, which usually means it's a more familiar word — a safer one to keep in your working vocabulary than the obscure high scorers.
