About IBA

IBA is a valid 3-letter English word in our word-game dictionary. Word detail pages like this one help you evaluate spelling, scoring potential, and related vocabulary before you play Scrabble, Words with Friends, crosswords, or anagram puzzles.

In standard Scrabble scoring, IBA is worth 5 points as a raw tile total. That figure adds each letter's face value — common vowels and consonants such as A, E, R, and T are worth 1 point, while premium letters like Q and Z are worth 10. Board multipliers (double letter, triple word, and so on) are applied only during actual gameplay; this page shows the base score so you can compare words fairly.

IBA begins with I and ends with A. Its alphagram ABI is the sorted signature of its letters, which makes it easy to spot anagram families at a glance. There is 1 other anagram sharing those exact letters.

Letter composition matters in word games. IBA includes 2 vowels and 1 consonant. It uses mostly common tiles, which often makes it easier to play from a mixed rack.

Word game usage
