Tips

When two plays from this list score about the same, choose the common word. It will not be challenged, you will remember it, and you can defend it if asked. The rarer words at the bottom of each group are valuable in specific situations: reaching a triple-word square, unloading a Q or Z, or blocking a lane your opponent needs. Keep them in reserve and lean on the common words for everyday play, especially when you are ahead and have no need to take risks.
