Why P at the End Matters

💡 Tile Value

P's 3 points are a reasonable chunk of a 5-letter word's total score without being so rare that plays are hard to find.

Because P lands last, 5-letter words ending with P are naturally suited to hooking: adding P onto a shorter word already on the board to build a new one on your turn.

Notable Words

Highest scorer: EQUIP is worth 16 points — P's 3 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: CHEEP (12 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: 146 valid 5-letter words ending with P exist in SOWPODS — fewer than the ~542 typical for this slot, so it's realistic to learn most of the useful ones.
