Definition & Usage
AH is an interjection expressing realization ("ah, I see!"), relief ("ah, that's better"), or satisfaction. It can also express wonder or surprise. As a noun, it refers to the exclamation itself — hence the plural AHS ("there were many ahs from the audience").
📖 Dictionary Entry

Strategy Tips
H on premium squares: Place H on a DLS for 9 points from just AH (H×2=8, A=1). On a TLS, H alone contributes 12 points to the word. AH is your shortest path to H premium square bonuses.
Parallel play power: AH played alongside an existing word creates crossword scores on both letters. If A touches a high-value letter above, you score both words in one play.
Front hook variety: BAH, DAH, PAH, RAH, YAH — AH accepts many front hooks. Play AH first, then extend with a consonant on your next turn for double scoring opportunities.
