What are some great short words to use in Scrabble?

Question

what are some words that are short but not common and are great Scrabble helpers?

Answer 1

Instead of asking for suggestions, just review the following list of acceptable two- and three-letter words. I'm guessing you are most interested in the words with high-scoring letters, but the words with unusual vowel combinations can also be handy. By the way, note that there are two basic lists - the relevant word list depends on where you are.

If you are getting serious, you definitely need to memorize the list of two-letter words, as they are critical for laying down bingos and other high-scoring plays.
