X Endings: 8 Points of Pure Scoring Power

X is rare as an ending letter, but every X-ending word carries a built-in scoring advantage: the X tile is worth 8 points in both Scrabble and Words With Friends8 points in Scrabble8 points in Words With Friends. Words like RELAX (12 pts), AFFIX (18 pts), INDEX (13 pts), ANNEX (12 pts), and REMIX (14 pts) score well even without premium square bonuses. The -AX, -IX, -EX, and -OX patterns are the most common X endings, and they show up frequently enough to be worth committing to memory. For crossword solvers, an X in the final position narrows possibilities dramatically, making these words among the easiest to identify when you have a few crossing letters confirmed. The Anagram Solver finds every valid word from your rack, including these high-value X-ending plays.

Placing X at the end of a word on a premium square is a devastating scoring move. X on a double-letter square earns 16 points from one tile. On a triple-letter square, that jumps to 24 points. Since X-ending words tend to be short (3 to 6 letters), you can often position the entire word so the X sits on a letter multiplier while the word itself crosses a word multiplier. This combination produces some of the highest per-tile scores in Scrabble and Words With FriendsScrabbleWords With Friends. The triple word score strategy guide covers how to set up these premium square combos. The Jumble Solver shows all your word options so you can plan the best placement.

Every competitive player should know the short X-ending words by heart: BOX, WAX, MIX, FOX, TAX, HEX, VOX, SAX, PIX, and ZAX. These 3-letter words fit into tight board positions and score 10+ points each before bonuses. ZAX (a tool for cutting roofing slates) is particularly valuable at 19 points. When you draw the X tile, scan the board for open lanes that let you end a word with X on a multiplier. Our rack management guide explains when to hold X for a bigger play versus using it immediately for guaranteed points.
