Scrabble Words With Double O — OO Pattern Strategy
With 8 O tiles in the bag, drawing multiple O's is inevitable. Double-O words turn that surplus into points. BAMBOO leads at 12 points with two 3-point B tiles, VOODOO scores 10 using all three O's from a vowel-heavy rack, and TABOO and TATTOO offer quick 5-letter plays. The OO pattern is your best friend when the bag hands you vowels.

Top Double-O Words
🏆 BAMBOO
12 points · 6 letters · B(3)+A(1)+M(3)+B(3)+O(1)+O(1) · Double B power
🏆 VOODOO
10 points · 6 letters · V(4)+O(1)+O(1)+D(2)+O(1)+O(1) · Uses 3-4 O tiles
⭐ TABOO
7 points · 5 letters · T(1)+A(1)+B(3)+O(1)+O(1) · Short and reliable
⭐ TATTOO
6 points · 6 letters · T(1)+A(1)+T(1)+T(1)+O(1)+O(1) · Uses 3 T's + 2 O's
OO Pattern Strategy
Vowel dump plays: VOODOO uses 3-4 O tiles in one play — perfect when your rack is O-heavy. BAMBOO and TABOO each use 2. These convert excess vowels into 7-12 points instead of an exchange.
Pair OO with premium consonants: BAMBOO works because B is worth 3 points (appears twice = 6). When you have OO + high-value consonants (B, M, V), look for these patterns first.
Shorter OO options: BOOK (10), BOOT (6), FOOD (8), GOOD (6), MOON (6), POOL (6), ROOF (7), WOOD (8). These 4-letter OO words work in tight spots and on premium squares.
💡 Key Insight
O is the 3rd most common vowel (8 tiles). Drawing 2-3 O's happens regularly. Instead of exchanging, play BAMBOO (12pts) or VOODOO (10pts) — you'll score points while clearing the vowel glut from your rack.
