About 6-Letter Words
6-letter words offer a great balance between scoring potential and playability. They're long enough to reach bonus squares but common enough to appear frequently in your letter rack.
Tips for 6-Letter Words
Try to spot prefixes (UN-, RE-, PRE-, OUT-) and suffixes (-ING, -TION, -MENT, -NESS) that extend shorter base words. Many 6-letter words are built from smaller roots plus affixes.
