Strategy for this list
K is worth 5 in Scrabble and starts ~1,800 words. K-openers combine well with vowels (KA, KI at 6 points each) and with L, N and W for consonant-blend starts (KL-, KN-, KW- rare but valid). High-value K-plays include KRAZY (Collins-only), KAYAK, KNELT. In Wordle, K is a mid-value opener — testing it confirms one of the less common opening letters and narrows the candidate list quickly.
