Why H at the End Matters

💡 Tile Value

H's 4 points are a reasonable chunk of a 4-letter word's total score without being so rare that plays are hard to find.

Because H lands last, 4-letter words ending with H are naturally suited to hooking: adding H onto a shorter word already on the board to build a new one on your turn.

Notable Words

Worth memorising first: KESH (11 points) is one of the lower scorers here, which usually means it's a more familiar word — a safer one to keep in your working vocabulary than the obscure high scorers.
