tile score 11
Playable in Scrabble
Yes
It is on the North American list and the international one, so it survives a challenge anywhere.
In our word list
No
The finder will not return it, because the list we search does not contain it.
These two answers disagree, and that is not a mistake. ENABLE was frozen long before the tournament lists last grew, and this word arrived in the gap. Play it with confidence; the finder here will still miss it.
Why players ask
ZA is slang for pizza, and it does for the Z exactly what QI does for the Q. It arrived on the North American list in the same 2006 update, and it is still the play most likely to start an argument at a kitchen table. Ten points on two tiles, and it fits in the gaps that longer Z words never do.
