Two-letter words

Short words are the glue of word games. They let you play a tile beside tiles that are already on the board and score on two lines at once. This page lists all 96 two-letter words in the ENABLE word list used by this site.

Valid two-letter words differ between word lists and games. Always check the list your game uses before relying on an unusual one.

How to use this list

  • Parallel plays: place a word alongside another word so that each pair of touching letters forms a valid two-letter word.
  • Dumping awkward tiles: several words here use high-value or difficult letters. Words such as ax, ex, ox, xi and xu make good use of an X, and jo is an easy home for a J.
  • Vowel dumps: words such as ae, ai, oe and aa help when your rack has too many vowels.

Two-letter words without a vowel

A few valid words contain no vowel at all, such as hm, mm, sh. These are worth remembering when you hold only consonants.

Continue with the three-letter words, or use the unscrambler with Word length set to 2 to find which of these your own tiles can make.
