Strategy for this list

The -ER suffix marks the comparative degree of adjectives (FAST → FASTER) and one of English's most productive noun endings (RUN → RUNNER, TEACH → TEACHER). Both letters are 1-point Scrabble tiles, so -ER hooks earn their value from the extended word rather than the suffix itself. The -ER list is huge — over 8,000 words in the standard dictionary — and is a common bingo ending: WAITERS, HEATERS, RETAINER, SMARTER. In Wordle, -ER shows up in roughly 8% of answers and is one of the most common trailing-two-letter patterns in the accepted-guess list.
