Words with X and Z in them go from 3 letters up to 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.
Nothing here beats OXYPHENBUTAZONE at 41 points in Scrabble and 44 in Words With Friends. ZAX is the shortest of them at 19 points in Scrabble, 19 in Words With Friends, which makes it the one to remember when there is barely any room left on the board.
Scores for both games appear with each word, and the shortest come first, so the right size turns up fast.
