ide is a word btw, it's a type of carp
yin is most definitely a word
Dai is a Chinese ethnic group, but it's proper
doo could also be considered a word, but it's slang
also, moi if you're being REALLY flexible
as for two letter words, there's also do and mi, "do re mi fa so la ti do" aka Solfège

d'oh, missed it in the first line there.
Also, can you do "midden"? I'm rusty on my boggle skills. I only know the short words from my scrabble skills.

And also some sort of poetic time description I think. At least in plural. 'The ides of March'? |

Trouble is, I'm not sure that "ides" is plural in that usage, as it only refers to the fifteenth day--or, more classically, the midpoint--of the month. It's a corruption of the Latin idus, which referred to the fifteenth of March, May, July, or October, or to the thirteenth of any other month. 'Course, that's the opinion of a man who, at first, thought Darqcyde was talking about an Integrated Development Environment for computer programming, so don't take that opinion too seriously.

I thought about including IDE in that sense, actually, but if you start counting that kind of thing, where do you stop?
Had there been an 's' I would have included 'ides,' because Shakespeare.
