Hooking with -ST words

Endings like -ST 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 3275 words here run from 4 to 15 letters, with 8-letter words the largest group (847 entries). Wordle players have 73 five-letter options, and there are 383 seven-letter candidates for a Scrabble bingo. The single best scorer is PSYCHOPHYSICIST at 35 points before multipliers.

For quick reference, the top of the score table reads: PSYCHOPHYSICIST (35), JAZZIEST (33), SCHIZZIEST (33), CRYPTOZOOLOGIST (32), MIZZENMAST (32). At 15 letters, AGRICULTURALIST is the longest word on the list; a typical entry scores around 13. If you are fishing for these words, keep T (3275 appearances), S (3275) and I (2532) on your rack.

Start with these three

Playing EAST across a double-word square turns its base 4 points into 8 — solid value for 4 tiles.
ERST earns 4 points from just 4 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.
LAST — 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: LEST (4), LIST (4), LOST (4), LUST (4), NEST (4).

Back-hooking with -ST

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