A word list is also a study tool. Reading through the five-letter words starting with H and ending in Y once or twice is enough to make the unusual ones familiar, and familiarity is what lets you spot a play under time pressure. Try covering the list and writing down as many as you can, then compare. Use the definitions on this page to attach meaning to the words you did not know, since a word with a meaning sticks far better than a string of letters. Return to the list after a few days and repeat.
