Strategy for this list

F is worth 4 in Scrabble and starts ~3,000 dictionary words. F combines well with vowels (FA, FE) and with L and R (FL-, FR-) for compact scoring plays. High-value F-openers include FJORD, FIZZY, FUZZY, FROZE. F on a double-letter square in a common-vowel opener scores 8 for the F alone — one of the game's best 4-point-tile placements. In Wordle, F-starters are less common than average, so an F in position 1 confirms both the letter and a smaller candidate pool.
