Strategy for this list
A is the most flexible starting letter in Scrabble — over 15,000 English words begin with A and dozens of two-letter A-words (AA, AB, AD, AE, AG, AH, AI, AL, AM, AN, AR, AS, AT, AW, AY) fuel parallel plays. The highest-scoring A-word plays use A as a launchpad for AZURE, AXES, AJAR or AQUA, but the everyday value of the letter is in short setup words that keep the A on the board for future hooks. In Wordle, A appears in more answers than any other letter — testing it in position 2 or 3 is often the highest-information move.
