Tips
Most of the time you are not building a word in empty space but playing through a letter already on the board. That is where a list like this one earns its keep. Find the letter you need to play through, then filter these words with the contains box so only the ones with that letter remain. The best plays are usually the ones where the board letter sits in the middle of your word, because that leaves both ends free for future hooks and keeps the premium squares within reach.
