Three words worth learning first

Playing LEE across a double-word square turns its base 3 points into 6 — solid value for 3 tiles.
NEE is easy to keep in memory: 3 letters, 3 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.
When the rack looks hopeless, REE (3 letters, 3 points) is the kind of quiet play that keeps a game moving.

Round out your set with SEE (3), TEE (3), ALEE (4), TREE (4), ALLEE (5) — all built from common tiles.

Back-hooking with -EE

When the board tightens up late in a Scrabble game, -EE 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.
