Strategy for Ceramics Words
GLAZE/GLAZED for Z tiles: GLAZE (15pts) and GLAZED (17pts) place Z between common vowels and consonants. Draw Z with G, L, A, E and you have an instant high-scoring play.
BISQUE solves the Q: Q=10 plus B, I, S, U, E for 17 total. Unlike many Q words, BISQUE uses only one uncommon tile alongside everyday letters. Reliable Q play when QI positions aren't open.
FLUX is a hidden gem: F=4, L=1, U=1, X=8 = 14 points from 4 tiles (3.5 per tile). One of the best X words in the game, and it fits into the tightest board positions.
💡 Key Insight
Ceramics words solve three premium tile problems at once: Z (GLAZE/GLAZED), Q (BISQUE), and X (FLUX). Learning just these four words gives you reliable plays for three of Scrabble's trickiest tiles.
