The most useful ending in word games
S is the workhorse of Scrabble and Words With Friends. A single S lets you pluralise a noun or conjugate a verb, and it is the easiest way to hook onto a word already on the board. That is why this is one of the largest lists on the site.
Use your S wisely
Because one S can unlock so many plays, strong players hold it back unless it earns extra points or completes a setup. Many entries here are plurals and present-tense verbs, so scan the board for an existing word you can extend rather than building from scratch.
