Why learn words by their ending letters?

Knowing word endings helps you hook onto existing tiles on the board. If a word already ends in a specific position, you can extend it by adding suffix letters. Endings like -ING, -ED, -ER are especially powerful for parallel plays.

What are the hardest word endings to use in Scrabble?

Words ending in Q (like SUQ, TRANQ), J (like HAJ, TAJ), and V (like SPIV, PERV) are rare and high-value. Memorising even a few gives you a significant edge over opponents who don't know them.

How do suffixes help score more points?

Adding -ING or -TION to existing words creates 7+ letter plays that earn the 50-point bingo bonus. Suffix knowledge turns 4-letter words into bingos by extending through tiles already on the board.
