Words ending in B are relatively uncommon in English — B is not a typical final consonant. Most B-endings are either monosyllabic Anglo-Saxon roots (CRAB, STAB, GRAB) or onomatopoeic words (BLAB, FLOB).
In Scrabble, B-ending words are useful for hooking: adding a B to a word ending in vowel + consonant can form a new valid word (JAM + B = JAMB). Classic 3-letter B-enders memorised by players include AB, JAB, JOB, SOB, MOB, COB, FOB, GOB.
In Words With Friends, B is scored slightly differently than in standard Scrabble, but the strategy of B-hooks remains powerful. Look for boards where a consonant-vowel pattern already exists and a B can extend it into a valid word.
The count is 371 B-final words (0.1% of the dictionary). Tile value: 3 points.
THINGUMMYBOB leads at 27 points using TWL scoring. Placing its final letter on a triple-word square while also forming a cross-word is how this kind of play becomes a 50-point turn.
Our shortest B-ending word is AB (2 letters). It’s ideal hook material — dropping it onto an existing word’s last letter creates two words at once.
