Words with the letter S

The letter S is one of the most powerful and versatile tiles in Scrabble, even though it’s worth just 1 point. Its strength lies in its ability to pluralize nouns and create new verb forms, instantly turning words like cat into cats or jump into jumps for easy points. Because only four S tiles exist in the game, each one is highly valuable and should be used strategically. Players often hold onto an S until they can use it to build multiple words at once—such as hooking it onto the end of one word while forming another perpendicular word in the process.

To use the letter S effectively, look for opportunities to extend existing words and create compound or parallel plays. For example, adding S to train to form trains while simultaneously building so, sit, or sun can multiply your score across the board. It’s also an excellent letter for setting up or capitalizing on premium scoring squares, especially if you can connect multiple words in a single turn. Though low in point value, the letter S is a strategic powerhouse in Scrabble, capable of turning modest plays into high-scoring moves when used with precision and planning.
