Tips

Many of the words on this page differ from each other by a single letter at the front or back. Those hooks are the cheapest plays in the game: you lay down one tile, extend an existing word, and score both the new word and anything you formed in parallel. Look at the shorter words in this list and ask which one-letter additions turn them into the longer ones. S, D, E and R at the end and A, S and B at the front do most of the work.

Questions
