Strategy & study tips
This list skews vowel-heavy, which helps when your rack is consonant-clogged — parallel plays and two-letter hooks become easier because many entries already carry A, E, I, O, or U. About 7% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
