KN Strategy Tips
K on DLS = 10 points: With only one K tile in the bag, when you draw it, prioritise landing it on a Double Letter Score. That single tile becomes 10 points — nearly as good as a Z on a regular square.
KNOB for parallel plays: KNOB (10pts) is only 4 letters and starts with KN — perfect for creating parallel plays alongside existing words. The K and B create new crosswords easily.
Hook with S: Most KN words take an S — KNOTS, KNEES, KNOBS, KNIVES. Use S-hooking to score twice: once for the S extension and once for any crossword it creates.
