IT creates an impressive array of 3-letter words through front-hooks:
Strategy with IT
KIT for K placement: KIT (7pts) is one of the best short K words. When you have K and no great long word, hooking IT into KIT gives solid value from a tough tile.
WIT and FIT for W/F tiles: Both score 6 points from 3 tiles. WIT extends to WITS, WITTY. FIT extends to FITS, FITTED, FITNESS — excellent bingo setups.
Parallel scoring: Place IT alongside a word and each letter forms a crossword. Two crosswords from one 2-letter play can easily produce 10+ points.
💡 Key Insight
IT and AT are the two most hookable 2-letter words. Memorise both sets of front-hooks and you'll never be stuck for a play when your rack looks weak. Together they give you 25+ valid 3-letter extensions.
