Zed is a great word, I use it in Scrabble all the time. When my opponent pseudo-challenged me on it, and asks me what it means, I tell her it's the name of the letter "Z". Then she officially challenged me, and lost a turn. Only once, though. (We're not exactly hardcore players, I think we play maybe once a year.)
