Strategy & study tips
Premium letters drive the top of this list. Prioritise words with Q, X, Z, J, or K when double- and triple-letter squares are open — raw tile value here often exceeds 15 points before multipliers. About 34% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
Prefix-locked length lists train slot-filling for crosswords and Wordle. Start with the highest-scoring opener, then drill hooks that add one letter before the prefix. Anchor words: highest scorer OXYBENZALDEHYDE, longest OXYBENZALDEHYDE. Build mnemonics around those two before expanding into the full 403 matches. Average Scrabble value here is 28 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight.

Frequently asked questions
