The slightly longer list of the 106 permissible two-letter words for British tournament Scrabble use, drawn (but not cut and pasted) from the Chambers dictionary: definitions given for words not in the American list. These are rather more important in cutthroat competition (whether it be in tournaments or against your SO's grandma) than Jurph suggests, since they enable new words to be played alongside others to create multiple scoring opportunities:

Words found in the American list but not included in the British one: ab, ag, ed, et, hm, mm, pe, uh, xu, ya. Note that in international tournament Scrabble in English, the official British and American lists are combined.


No indication of comparative merit is intended for this list, and my views on playing Scrabble on a never-mind-the-meaning-just-look-at-the-points basis concur largely with dannye's here. This list is drawn from the second edition of Official Scrabble Words; I think there is a newer version based on the current edition of the Chambers dictionary, which certainly has an entry for xu - /msg me if you know of updates. And remember, there are no two letter words with a V in them.
