Hooking with -IE words

Endings like -IE 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.

A quick statistical tour

A few numbers before you scroll: the 377 words here run from 3 to 13 letters, with 6-letter words the largest group (167 entries). Wordle players have 47 five-letter options, and there are 89 seven-letter candidates for a Scrabble bingo. The single best scorer is CAPERCAILZIE at 27 points before multipliers.

For quick reference, the top of the score table reads: CAPERCAILZIE (27), JACQUERIE (27), LEZZIE (24), COCKAMAMIE (22), GROTESQUERIE (22). COLLIESHANGIE (13 letters) stretches furthest, while the list-wide average score sits near 11 points. The most useful tiles to hold for this list are I, E and O, which appear in 377, 377 and 134 of the words respectively.

Start with these three

LIE — 3 letters for 3 points; every tile in it is a common draw, so it shows up rack after rack.
TIE is easy to keep in memory: 3 letters, 3 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.
AERIE — a 5-letter, 5-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.

Five more everyday options from the same list: EERIE (5), LOOIE (5), LOUIE (5), OORIE (5), OURIE (5).

-IE as a board weapon

A reliable habit: every time you learn a new -IE 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.
