XXIII (noun): the cardinal number that is the sum of twenty-two and one. Additional senses: being three more than twenty.

In standard Scrabble scoring, XXIII totals 19 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. XXIII includes premium tiles (X, X), which can swing tight games when you cover a double- or triple-letter square.

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

Among 17 tracked 5-letter entries, XXIII ranks by raw score (19 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, XXIII carries 3 vowels and 2 consonants. High-value letters (X, X) make XXIII attractive when you can land a multiplier — but harder to play from a mixed rack. Hooks on X or I are common study angles; browse words starting with X and words ending with I to rehearse parallel sets.

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