Complete word guide

DO (noun): doctor's degree in osteopathy. Additional senses: the syllable naming the first (tonic) note of any major scale in solmization; an uproarious party; behave in a certain manner; show a certain behavior; conduct or comport oneself; "You should act like an adult"; "Don't behave like a fool"; "What makes her do this way?"; "The dog acts ferocious, but he is really afraid of people".
In standard Scrabble scoring, DO totals 3 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. DO relies mostly on common tiles, which often makes it easier to play from a mixed rack but caps the raw ceiling compared with high-premium words.
DO is 2 letters long, begins with D, ends with O, and sorts to the alphagram DO. There is 1 anagram in this dictionary sharing that exact letter bag. Letter makeup: 1 vowel, 1 consonant.
Among 18 tracked 2-letter entries, DO ranks by raw score (3 points). Anagram alternatives include OD — useful when you need the same tiles with a different hook letter. Similar-length words in the same dictionary include XX, FZ, HQ, QH; open their word pages to compare endings, vowel weight, and crossover potential.
Strategically, DO carries 1 vowel and 1 consonant. Its vowel-heavy shape often plays cleanly from racks with excess vowels. Hooks on D or O are common study angles; browse words starting with D and words ending with O to rehearse parallel sets.
