Strategy & study tips
Vowel-dense patterns often appear in Wordle answer pools and casual Words with Friends boards. Memorise a handful of high-scorers first, then drill mid-score words for defensive blocking. About 8% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
Suffix study is the fastest Scrabble improvement path. Group endings mentally, then practise adding one letter before the shared tail already on the board.
