Words with X

X is worth 8 points in English Wordfeud and fits into several very short words. A two-letter word can be useful on a crowded board, especially when a new X also forms a valid crossing word.

These 40 examples are a selection, not every word containing X. Words are grouped by length, with higher tile scores first. Scores use English Wordfeud values, which differ from Scrabble and Words With Friends.

How to use X in Wordfeud

AX, EX, OX, XI and XU are two-letter entries in ENABLE 2K. For three letters, try combinations such as AXE, BOX, FIX or SIX. Check the selected dictionary in your game before relying on an unfamiliar word.

AX has 9 tile points: A (1) and X (8). A newly placed X on a free double-letter square makes 17 before any word bonuses or crossing words. If X was already on that square, it keeps its ordinary 8 points.

Letter and word bonuses apply only when a tile is first placed on their square. If you substitute a blank, subtract that letter’s value from the table score. Check every crossing word too. Read the Wordfeud rules and scoring guide for the full calculation.

Find words from your own letters

The English word finder checks your rack letters, blanks and an optional board sequence. To use every letter exactly once, try the anagram solver. The search guide explains how to add board letters.

All listed words are checked against our ENABLE 2K source. It is not an exact match for Wordfeud’s current US or international dictionaries. A listed word can be rejected by your game, and some accepted words are missing here. This is an independent study aid, not an official word-validity ruling.
