Hooking with -ND words

Endings like -ND 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

Inside this list: 531 words spanning 3–13 letters. The biggest cluster sits at 8 letters (123 words), 32 entries are Wordle-sized at five letters, and 97 run to seven — bingo length if you can empty the rack. For points, the ceiling is HYPEREXTEND, worth 27.

For quick reference, the top of the score table reads: HYPEREXTEND (27), QUICKSAND (25), GAZEHOUND (23), OVEREXPAND (23), FOXHOUND (22). At 13 letters, CHATEAUBRIAND is the longest word on the list; a typical entry scores around 13. If you are fishing for these words, keep N (531 appearances), D (531) and E (269) on your rack.

Three easy picks from this list

AROUND earns 7 points from just 6 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.
ATTEND — 6 letters for 7 points; every tile in it is a common draw, so it shows up rack after rack.
Playing ERRAND across a double-word square turns its base 7 points into 14 — solid value for 6 tiles.

Five more everyday options from the same list: INLAND (7), INTEND (7), ISLAND (7), RELEND (7), RESEND (7).

Back-hooking with -ND

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