Strategy for Perfumery Words
MYRRH is an H-tile champion: H (4pts) pairs poorly with most consonants. MYRRH puts H at the end after double R — no vowels needed beyond Y acting as one. Unique letter pattern opponents won't see coming.
MUSKY upgrades MUSK: If MUSK is on the board or you have Y too, MUSKY scores 14 points. The Y addition is always worth it — 4 extra points for one tile is a great trade.
Perfume words fit tight boards: MUSK (4 letters), MYRRH (5), BALM (4), SCENT (5) — all compact. In endgame positions where the board is locked, these short words reach spots bingos can't.
💡 Key Insight
Perfumery words are endgame specialists. Short (4-5 letters), dense scoring (10-14pts), and heavy on consonants hard to play elsewhere. MYRRH, MUSK, and MUSKY belong in every player's endgame toolkit.
