About MAIZE
MAIZE is a valid 5-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, MAIZE is worth 16 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.
MAIZE begins with M and ends with E. Its alphagram AEIMZ 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.
Letter composition matters in word games. MAIZE includes 3 vowels and 2 consonants. It also contains high-value letters (Z), which can swing a close game when paired with a multiplier square.
