OD (noun): the right eye. Additional senses: a doctor's degree in optometry.
In standard Scrabble scoring, OD 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. OD 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.
OD is 2 letters long, begins with O, ends with D, and sorts to the alphagram DO. There is 1 anagram in this dictionary sharing that exact letter bag. Letter makeup: 1 vowel, 1 consonant.

Strategically, OD carries 1 vowel and 1 consonant. Its vowel-heavy shape often plays cleanly from racks with excess vowels. Hooks on O or D are common study angles; browse words starting with O and words ending with D to rehearse parallel sets.
