Why UB words matter

Words containing UB are handy for Scrabble, Words with Friends and word puzzles — filter the list above by length to find the play you need.

A quick statistical tour

The shape of this list: 2017 entries between 3 and 15 letters long, peaking at 8 letters with 321 words. Five-letter picks number 51 and seven-letter picks 217. Nothing here outscores SUBJECTIVIZING — 38 points from 14 tiles on plain squares.

For quick reference, the top of the score table reads: SUBJECTIVIZING (38), SUBJECTIVIZED (37), SUBJECTIVIZES (36), SUBJECTIVIZE (35), UNDERPUBLICIZED (32). The longest entry is ANTISUBVERSIONS at 15 letters, and the average word here is worth about 15 points. Letter-wise, B is the workhorse — it appears in 2017 of these words, ahead of U (2017) and S (1590).

Three words worth learning first

AUBURN is easy to keep in memory: 6 letters, 8 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.
AUSUBO earns 8 points from just 6 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.
NUBIAS — 6 letters for 8 points; every tile in it is a common draw, so it shows up rack after rack.

Five more everyday options from the same list: NUBILE (8), ROUBLE (8), RUBATO (8), RUBIER (8), RUBIES (8).

UB as a vocabulary shortcut

Groups like this one reward a different kind of practice: pick five words of different lengths from the list above, write each in a sentence, and the UB pattern moves into long-term memory. It is also a quiet Scrabble edge — racks that spell UB plus common tiles come up constantly, and prepared players cash them in while others shuffle letters.
