Watch for recurring suffixes like -NG, -LY, -GS, -ING when planning hooks and parallel plays. For quick wins, prioritise quizzing (36 pts) — they lead this list on raw tile value. Wordle players can use this list to build a mental model of valid pattern words before guessing — especially when narrowing by known greens and yellows. Competitive Scrabble strategy relies on pattern recognition. Lists like this train your brain to spot playable words under time pressure.
