RE- Prefix Strategy
The cheapest front hook: R and E are both 1-point tiles with 6+ copies in the bag. You'll almost always have RE available. Scan the board constantly for WORK, VAMP, TURN, WIND, FUND — each becomes a RE- word.
RE- for bingo extensions: RESTOCK (7), RESTYLE (7), RESHAPE (7), REQUIRE (7). Many RE- words hit exactly 7 letters for the bingo bonus. If your rack has R+E plus a 5-letter word, check if RE+root works.
Stack with suffixes: RE- words often take -ED, -ING, -S endings. REWORK→REWORKED (8 letters, bingo), REVAMP→REVAMPED (8), RETURN→RETURNED (8). The prefix + suffix combo creates long words from short roots.
💡 Key Insight
RE- is the most productive prefix in English with 1,000+ valid Scrabble words. At only 2 points invested, every front hook earns back 5-15x the cost. Keep R+E in mind every turn — the board almost always has a hookable word.
