Strategy for this list

The -TION suffix is the most productive Latin ending in English — over 3,000 words end in -TION, most nouns derived from verbs (ACT → ACTION, RELATE → RELATION). For Scrabble, -TION unlocks huge bingos through a single T on the board: ACTION, RATION, MOTION, NATION, POTION, LOTION. Study the six root shapes (-ACTION, -ATION, -ITION, -OTION, -UTION, -ENTION) and you cover the whole family. The eight-letter -ATIONS list alone contains more than 600 words. In cryptic crosswords, -TION endings are hallmarks of anagram-plus-hidden-word clues — worth checking the last four squares first.
