Three easy picks from this list
- SUN earns 3 points from just 3 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.
- SUNN — 4 letters for 4 points; every tile in it is a common draw, so it shows up rack after rack.
- SUNS — a 4-letter, 4-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.
Five more everyday options from the same list: SUNNA (5), SUNNS (5), SUNLIT (6), SUNNAS (6), SUNSET (6).
One chunk, many words: SUN
If you are studying English, SUN is a high-leverage chunk: instead of memorising each word cold, anchor the SUN pattern and let the surrounding letters vary.
