In standard Scrabble scoring, DOUBLE totals 9 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. DOUBLE 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.
DOUBLE is 6 letters long, begins with D, ends with E, and sorts to the alphagram BDELOU. There is 1 anagram in this dictionary sharing that exact letter bag. Letter makeup: 3 vowels, 3 consonants.
Among 18 tracked 6-letter entries, DOUBLE ranks by raw score (9 points). Anagram alternatives include DOBULE — useful when you need the same tiles with a different hook letter. 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, DOUBLE carries 3 vowels and 3 consonants. Its vowel-heavy shape often plays cleanly from racks with excess vowels. Hooks on D or E are common study angles; browse words starting with D and words ending with E to rehearse parallel sets.
