Here are the 50 most played words in Scrabble that contain the letter "X". The words are presented in playrank order starting with the most often played word of the bunch XI. This list is applicable to the SOWPODS official tournament word list only.
There are 6832 legal x-words in the SOWPODS list, but the 50 words presented below account for over 67% of all x-word plays! Putting that another way, if an x-word is used in a game then there is a 67% chance that it is in the list below.
