PE Strategy: When to Play It
P-dump with E flexibility: E is the most common tile (12 in the bag). You'll almost always have an E to pair with P. PE scores 4 points and clears P — better than holding it for turns.
Hook-friendly: PE hooks easily into PEA, PEN, PET, PEW, PEG and more. Play PE near open spaces, then extend next turn. PEW (8pts) is particularly strong with W's 4-point value.
Cross-scoring power: P on DLS = 6 points from one tile. Place PE parallel to existing words. Both P and E form many valid 2-letter crosswords, making parallel plays reliable.
