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 18% 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 11 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight. Anchor words: highest scorer KHRUSHCHEV, longest ELECTROMOTIV. Build mnemonics around those two before expanding into the full 140 matches.
