Three easy picks from this list
- NULLAH — a 6-letter, 9-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.
- SIRRAH — 6 letters for 9 points; every tile in it is a common draw, so it shows up rack after rack.
- Playing SUNNAH across a double-word square turns its base 9 points into 18 — solid value for 6 tiles.
Round out your set with TUSSAH (9), LOTAH (8), SELAH (8), SURAH (8), TORAH (8) — all built from common tiles.
Back-hooking with -AH
When the board tightens up late in a Scrabble game, -AH words keep you scoring: they attach to existing letters instead of needing seven clean tiles. Crossword solvers use the same trick in reverse — if the grid gives you the last letters, this list is the candidate pool. Check the length filter in the Word Finder to match your open squares exactly.
