Hooking with -CK words

Endings like -CK let you tack a word onto a tile already on the board, often turning a small play into a big one. Look for the high-value entries above to maximise points.

This list by the numbers

A few numbers before you scroll: the 616 words here run from 3 to 13 letters, with 8-letter words the largest group (151 entries). Wordle players have 62 five-letter options, and there are 134 seven-letter candidates for a Scrabble bingo. The single best scorer is CRACKERJACK at 32 points before multipliers.

Chasing points? The best five entries here are CRACKERJACK (32), CRACKAJACK (31), ANTIKICKBACK (30), BLACKJACK (30), CHOCKABLOCK (30). The longest entry is COUNTERATTACK at 13 letters, and the average word here is worth about 18 points. Letter-wise, K is the workhorse — it appears in 616 of these words, ahead of C (616) and A (308).

Start with these three

ANTICK — 6 letters for 12 points; every tile in it is a common draw, so it shows up rack after rack.
Playing ARRACK across a double-word square turns its base 12 points into 24 — solid value for 6 tiles.
ATTACK — a 6-letter, 12-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.

Round out your set with RELOCK (12), RERACK (12), RETACK (12), STRICK (12), STRUCK (12) — all built from common tiles.

Why -CK endings win turns

A reliable habit: every time you learn a new -CK word, note whether it also takes a front extension. Words that extend at both ends are the ones that turn a 12-point play into a 40-point one, because you can bridge two premium squares. The top of this list — sorted by score — is where those double-duty words hide.
