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.
Questions
Which of these words are the most common?
HIM, SHUTS and HITS are among the most familiar. Words in everyday use are sorted first within each length group and the very common ones carry a small dot.
Are all of these words valid in word games?
They are all in the ENABLE list, which most word-game helpers use, but each game has its own dictionary. Check any unfamiliar word against the rules of the game you are playing.
