The English language has a relatively small number of words that start with the letter X. While the exact number can vary depending on the dictionary or source you consult, it is generally estimated that there are around 400 to 500 words that begin with X.
Some common examples include words like ‘xylophone,’ ‘xenon,’ ‘x-ray,’ and ‘xenophobia.’ Many of these words are derived from Greek or Latin origins, which is why they start with the letter X.
If you’re curious about the specific count, you can always refer to a comprehensive dictionary or an online word list that categorizes words by their starting letters.
