Browse every 3-letter English word that includes the letter U. This targeted list combines exact length and letter constraints — the same filters available in our Pattern Finder — and shows Scrabble point scores for each entry.
Quick stats: 284 total words, 3-letter average length, 6.5-point mean score.
Our dictionary returns 284 matches — a deep pool for anagram practice, crossword solving, and vocabulary building. Among these entries, 37 contain rare tiles that can dramatically boost your score when played on double- or triple-letter squares. Suffix patterns such as -UM, -UD, -UB, -ABU appear frequently here and are high-yield targets in both Scrabble and Words with Friends. For quick wins, prioritise buz (14 pts) — they lead this list on raw tile value. Daily Wordle solvers benefit from lists like this when a letter pattern repeats across puzzles; knowing valid words in advance reduces wasted guesses. Words with Friends shares most of these entries; the average score of 6.5 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. With a vowel ratio of 0.43, this list skews consonant-heavy — keep extra vowels on your rack when targeting these words.
