Prefix-locked length lists train slot-filling for crosswords and Wordle. Start with the highest-scoring opener, then drill hooks that add one letter before the prefix. Anchor words: highest scorer THAK, longest THAK. Build mnemonics around those two before expanding into the full 35 matches. Average Scrabble value here is 7.9 points — use that as a floor for acceptable plays when board space is tight.
