Two-letter words

Our word list has 96 two-letter words, from AA (a type of lava) to YO. Only 54 of them appear in SCOWL at size 50 or below (our “common” label). Some two-letter words that newer official game lists accept, such as QI, ZA and OK, are not in ENABLE, the list we use.

Not in our list

ENABLE is a fixed list, so some two-letter words that appear in newer dictionaries or game lists are missing: QI, ZA, OK and EW, among others. If your game accepts them, you can still play them – our tools simply will not suggest them.

Questions people ask

Is QI a two-letter word?

QI is a dictionary word and some game lists accept it, but it is not in ENABLE, so our tools do not show it.

Which two-letter words use J, Q, X or Z?

In our list: JO, XI, XU and AX, EX, OX. There are none with Q or Z.
