Scrabble high-value letters
Q (10pts), Z (10pts), J (8pts) and X (8pts) are the highest value Scrabble tiles. Look for short words that use these — QI, ZA, JO, XI are all valid Scrabble words that score big.
Wordle strategy
Start with words containing common letters: E, A, R, I, O, T, N, S. CRANE, SLATE and AUDIO are popular opening words. Use the "must contain" filter to find words with your confirmed green and yellow letters.
Look for prefixes and suffixes
Common prefixes (UN-, RE-, PRE-, DIS-) and suffixes (-ING, -ED, -ER, -EST, -LY) can unlock many words from your letters. Try rearranging your letters around these patterns.
Use all 7 tiles in Scrabble
Playing all 7 tiles at once (a "bingo") earns a 50-point bonus. Look for 7-letter words first, then work backwards. Common 7-letter bingo stems include SATINE, SATIRE and RETAINS.
Two-letter words are powerful
Memorise common 2-letter words for Scrabble — AA, AB, AD, AE, AG, AH, AI, AL, AM, AN, AR, AS, AT, AW, AX, AY, BA, BE, BI, BO, BY — they help you play parallel to existing words.
Crossword tricks
For crosswords, use the "must contain" filter with the letters you already know. Enter all your available letters plus the confirmed ones to find words that fit your crossing pattern.
