Strategy for Norse Words
FJORD is a J-tile masterclass: J=8 delivers the bulk of this word's value. Opponents rarely block the spot you need for this uncommon FJ opening.
VALKYRIE triple-stacks premium tiles: V=4, K=5, Y=4 — 13 points from just those three tiles alone. An 8-letter word needing a hook on the board.
JARL for quick J-tile relief: 11 points from 4 tiles (J=8, A=1, R=1, L=1). Compact and high-value when you need to dump the J fast.
💡 Key Insight
Norse words are J-tile and K-tile specialists. FJORD, JARL, VIKING, VALKYRIE, and SKALD all leverage high-value tiles. When you draw J or K, think Viking.
