Last updated:

962 of the 172,434 ENABLE words shown on this site are words with exactly 3 letters (about 0.56%). All of them have the same length, so they differ only in their letters. Using commonly used tile values, ZAX (19 points) scores the most. 863 have no repeated letter at all. Games use their own dictionaries, so a word here isn't automatically playable everywhere.
