Opening with the letter A
A is one of the most common tiles and is worth a single point, which makes A-words easy to build but light on raw score — the value comes from length and placement. Familiar seven-letter openers such as antique, awesome, amateur and average are great for clearing a vowel-heavy rack while still setting up a bingo.
Since A starts so many words, this page is a handy reference when the board or your rack fixes that first letter. Sort by points to find the highest-scoring options, or use the finder to combine the starting A with the rest of your tiles.
