Tips

The mix of vowels and consonants in SISTER is what makes it a productive rack. When your own rack has too many vowels or too many consonants, the list of possible words collapses. A good habit is to play the word that leaves the best leftover tiles, not necessarily the highest score this turn. Keeping one or two vowels, an S, and a blank on the rack sets up a stronger play next time, and over a whole game that adds up to more than any single big word.
