Hooking with -EN words

Endings like -EN 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.

What the numbers say

A few numbers before you scroll: the 1082 words here run from 3 to 15 letters, with 7-letter words the largest group (230 entries). Wordle players have 74 five-letter options, and there are 230 seven-letter candidates for a Scrabble bingo. The single best scorer is JAZZMEN at 34 points before multipliers.

For quick reference, the top of the score table reads: JAZZMEN (34), CHAZZEN (30), OXYHYDROGEN (29), PHYTOPATHOGEN (27), WIZZEN (27). AGRIBUSINESSMEN (15 letters) stretches furthest, while the list-wide average score sits near 13 points. Letter-wise, N is the workhorse — it appears in 1082 of these words, ahead of E (1082) and M (501).

Start with these three

SEN — 3 letters for 3 points; every tile in it is a common draw, so it shows up rack after rack.
Playing TEN across a double-word square turns its base 3 points into 6 — solid value for 3 tiles.
LIEN is easy to keep in memory: 4 letters, 4 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.

Round out your set with SEEN (4), TEEN (4), ALIEN (5), EATEN (5), LATEN (5) — all built from common tiles.

Back-hooking with -EN

Endings are Scrabble's cheapest points. A word finishing in -EN can often be built backwards from a tile already on the board, so you pay for fewer letters than you score. Scan the high scorers above, then look for a spot where the final -EN lands on a premium square — the multiplier applies to your whole word, not just the hook.
