Words with K and Z in them begin at 3 letters and reach 15. Both letters have to appear in the same word, which rules out most of the dictionary and leaves a set small enough to be worth reading.
The highest scorer of the set is JAZZLIKE at 37 points in Scrabble, 40 in Words With Friends. ZEK is the shortest of them at 16 points in Scrabble and 16 in Words With Friends, which makes it the one to remember when there is barely any room left on the board.
Each word shows what it scores in Scrabble and what it scores in Words With Friends, which is the difference between guessing and knowing.

FAQs
1What is the highest scoring word with K and Z in it?
The highest scorer is JAZZLIKE, which is worth 37 points in Scrabble and 40 in Words With Friends. That is what it earns on its own, and any bonus square it lands on multiplies the total further.
2How many points are K and Z worth together?
Together the two letters come to 15 points in Scrabble and 15 points in Words With Friends. That is before the rest of the word is counted, so most words holding both finish on a much higher total.
3What is the longest word with K and Z in it?
The longest is ALKALINIZATIONS, which runs to 15 letters and scores 28 points in Scrabble. A word that size needs a stretch of open board, so it comes up far less than the shorter ones.
4What is the shortest word with K and Z in it?
The shortest is ZEK, at 3 letters. Words this small matter more than they look, because they still fit once the board has filled up and nothing longer will go anywhere.
