Strategy for this list

E is worth 1 in Scrabble but is the most valuable letter in the game because it appears in nearly every high-frequency word and every bingo stem (SATINE, RETINA, OATERS all include E). E-starting words (~8,000) skew toward Latinate abstract nouns (EDUCATION, ELECTION) and short common words (EAR, EAT, ECHO, EDGE, ELF). In Wordle, E is the most common vowel in the answer set — appearing in nearly 70% of daily answers. Testing E in position 2, 4 or 5 nearly always narrows the search space.
