Strategy for this list
U is worth 1 in Scrabble and starts ~1,200 words — one of the smallest vowel slices. U's Scrabble value is in Q-support (nearly every Q-word needs a U) rather than in U-openers themselves. High-value U-plays include UZI (not always legal), UMPH. In Wordle, U is a common vowel in interior positions (SOUND, ABOUT, MOUSE) but rare in position 1.
