Because T lands last, 5-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

Worth memorising first: QUILT (14 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.
