Strategy & study tips

Premium letters drive the top of this list. Prioritise words with Q, X, Z, J, or K when double- and triple-letter squares are open — raw tile value here often exceeds 15 points before multipliers. About 13% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
