VIDEO

VIDEO is listed in the UnscrambleTools word-game dictionary used across our unscrambler, anagram, pattern, and scoring tools. Pages like this one exist so you can answer "Is VIDEO a Scrabble word?" with data — not guesswork — before you play a tile or fill a crossword slot.

VIDEO (noun): a recording of both the visual and audible components (especially one containing a recording of a movie or television program). Additional senses: broadcasting visual images of stationary or moving objects; "she is a star of screen and video"; "Television is a medium because it is neither rare nor well done" - Ernie Kovacs; the visible part of a television transmission; "they could still receive the sound but the picture was gone"; (computer science) the appearance of text and graphics on a video display.

In standard Scrabble scoring, VIDEO 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. VIDEO 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.

VIDEO is 5 letters long, begins with V, ends with O, and sorts to the alphagram DEIOV. No other entry in this dictionary rearranges into the same letter set, so VIDEO is unique within its alphagram family. Letter makeup: 3 vowels, 2 consonants.

Among 17 tracked 5-letter entries, VIDEO ranks by raw score (9 points). Similar-length words in the same dictionary include JAZZY, FEZZY, FIZZY, FUZZY; open their word pages to compare endings, vowel weight, and crossover potential.

Strategically, VIDEO carries 3 vowels and 2 consonants. Its vowel-heavy shape often plays cleanly from racks with excess vowels. Hooks on V or O are common study angles; browse words starting with V and words ending with O to rehearse parallel sets.

VIDEO is a 5-letter answer slot candidate. Filter by length 5, starts with V, ends with O, or contains letters from your crossing entries in the Crossword Solver and Pattern Finder.
