Strategy for this list

D is worth 2 in Scrabble and opens roughly 5,500 words in the dictionary. D's Scrabble value is modest per letter but its role in the -ED past-tense hook is enormous — every regular verb ending gets an extra D for a bingo-length shape. D-openers with premium potential include DAZZLE, DIZZY, DECKS, DOZEN. Two-letter D-words are limited (DA, DE, DO, ED) but the D→DE→DEN→DENS extension chain is one of the most common hook sequences in tournament play.
