A scrabble word finder shows BEZZY, BIZZY, and BUZZY all tied at 28 points, each one riding a double Z. None of them are words you'd casually drop into a sentence, but they're valid, and any word solver will surface all three at once.

B is a strong early guess, 909 words behind it and a decent mix of common vocabulary in there too.

BO-, BA-, BE-, and BU- split the list almost evenly, no single opening dominates the way it does for some letters. Don't assume BA- just because it sounds common.

On the board, B is worth 3 points on its own, middling value. A scrabble word finder earns its keep more by finding where B extends an existing word than by scoring B solo.

BEZZY, BIZZY, and BUZZY all tie at 28 points, tightest three-way tie of any letter on this list. Each one leans on a double Z for nearly all its value. Run a rack with two Z's through any unscrambler and one of these three should show up.
