Strategy for this list
H is worth 4 in Scrabble but appears in dozens of two-letter and three-letter words (HA, HE, HI, HO, HM, HAH, HEM, HEX). H's Scrabble value comes from H-hooks on common words (EAR → HEAR, ARM → HARM) and from HEX and HAZE for premium-square plays. In Wordle, H is high-frequency in position 2 (SHINE, THING) but rarely in position 1 for answers — it's more common in guesses than solutions.
