About HYPHEN
HYPHEN is a valid 6-letter English word in our word-game dictionary. Word detail pages like this one help you evaluate spelling, scoring potential, and related vocabulary before you play Scrabble, Words with Friends, crosswords, or anagram puzzles.
In standard Scrabble scoring, HYPHEN is worth 17 points as a raw tile total. That figure adds each letter's face value — common vowels and consonants such as A, E, R, and T are worth 1 point, while premium letters like Q and Z are worth 10. Board multipliers (double letter, triple word, and so on) are applied only during actual gameplay; this page shows the base score so you can compare words fairly.
HYPHEN begins with H and ends with N. Its alphagram EHHNPY is the sorted signature of its letters, which makes it easy to spot anagram families at a glance. No other words in this dictionary rearrange into the same letter set.
