AMAZON (noun): mainly green tropical American parrots. Additional senses: a major South American river; arises in the Andes and flows eastward into the South Atlantic; the world's 2nd longest river (4000 miles); (Greek mythology) one of a nation of women warriors of Scythia (who burned off the right breast in order to use a bow and arrow more effectively); a large strong and aggressive woman.

In standard Scrabble scoring, AMAZON totals 17 points before multipliers. That sum uses official letter values: common tiles (A, E, I, O, U, L, N, S, T, R) are worth 1, while D and G are 2, B, C, M, P are 3, F, H, V, W, Y are 4, K is 5, J and X are 8, and Q and Z are 10. AMAZON includes premium tiles (Z), which can swing tight games when you cover a double- or triple-letter square.

AMAZON is 6 letters long, begins with A, ends with N, and sorts to the alphagram AAMNOZ. No other entry in this dictionary rearranges into the same letter set, so AMAZON is unique within its alphagram family. Letter makeup: 3 vowels, 3 consonants.

Among 17 tracked 6-letter entries, AMAZON ranks by raw score (17 points). Similar-length words in the same dictionary include QUIZZY, BEZAZZ, PIZAZZ, ZAQQUM; open their word pages to compare endings, vowel weight, and crossover potential.

Strategically, AMAZON carries 3 vowels and 3 consonants. High-value letters (Z) make AMAZON attractive when you can land a multiplier — but harder to play from a mixed rack. Hooks on A or N are common study angles; browse words starting with A and words ending with N to rehearse parallel sets.

AMAZON is a 6-letter answer slot candidate. Filter by length 6, starts with A, ends with N, or contains letters from your crossing entries in the Crossword Solver and Pattern Finder. For American-style grids, 6-letter entries like AMAZON frequently cross shorter words; knowing that AMAZON contains A, M, N, O, Z helps you test crossing letters quickly. When you only know a few cells, open the Crossword Solver with a pattern such as a????n to narrow candidates before checking definitions.

Notable letter pairs inside AMAZON include AM, AZ, MA — each links to a "contains" list for deeper drilling. Unique letters used: A, M, Z, O, N. Letter-frequency tables on this site are built from the same dictionary that powers the Word Unscrambler, so list pages and word pages stay consistent.
