Why T at the End Matters
💡 Tile Value
T won't win you points on its own, but a 4-letter word is a full rack commitment either way — the win here is having 436 options ready rather than hunting mid-game.
Because T lands last, 4-letter words ending with T are naturally suited to hooking: adding T onto a shorter word already on the board to build a new one on your turn.
Notable Words
Highest scorer: FIXT is worth 14 points — T's 1 points plus the rest of the tiles in the word. It's the play to look for if you're building toward a big turn.
Worth memorising first: SEXT (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.
How many options: 436 valid 4-letter words ending with T exist in SOWPODS — well above the ~236 typical for this slot, so this is a productive letter to search on.
