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 100% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
Average Scrabble value here is 22.4 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight. Anchor words: highest scorer EXHIBITIONIZE, longest NONEXHAUSTIVELY. Build mnemonics around those two before expanding into the full 181 matches.
