The Hook Master: Building on -ED and -ND Patterns
The -ED suffix is what makes D invaluable in Scrabble and Words With FriendsScrabbleWords With Friends. Nearly every regular verb accepts -ED, so if your opponent plays WALK, you can extend it to WALKED and score for the entire word while placing just two tiles. That's the essence of a hook play, and D enables more hooks than almost any other letter. Beyond -ED, D appears in heavy-hitting clusters like -ND (FOUND, FRIEND, BEHIND), -RD (BOARD, GUARD, WEIRD), and -LD (BUILD, WORLD, CHILD). Our defensive strategy guide explains how to position your own words so opponents can't easily hook -ED onto them for a free score.
D is worth just 2 points in both games2 points in Scrabble2 points in Words With Friends, but its strategic value far exceeds that face number. With 4 tiles in the bag, you'll draw D regularly. For Wordle, D endings tend to be -ND or -RD clusters (FOUND, GRIND, BLOND) rather than simple past tenses, since the answer pool avoids most -ED forms. If your guesses show D in position 5, focus on those consonant-cluster patterns. The Wordle Solver filters by confirmed positions to narrow your remaining candidates quickly.
