Words with the letter R

The letter R is one of the most commonly used consonants in the English language and is worth 1 point in Scrabble. While it doesn't carry a high individual value, its versatility makes it a powerful tool for building and extending words. R appears frequently at the beginning and end of words, making it useful for forming words like are, rat, roar, and row. It's also helpful for pluralizing or conjugating verbs, such as turning bake into baker or care into cared. Because of its flexibility, having an R on your rack helps you adapt to the board and take advantage of openings quickly.

Strategically, the letter R is excellent for making hook plays—adding it to the end of a word like cat to form cart or ear to create earn. It also works well in compound words and in prefixes or suffixes like re-, -er, and -ar, which can boost your scoring potential when combined with premium squares. While R might not add a big number to your total by itself, it plays a crucial supporting role in building longer words and maximizing the value of your high-point tiles. Mastering its use helps maintain strong board control and steady scoring throughout the game.
