Words in word games
If you are playing a word game, knowing whether a word is valid is essential. Kb appears in our 370,000-word English dictionary, which includes most words accepted in Scrabble and Words With Friends. However, always check the official word list for the specific game you are playing, as different games use different dictionaries.
