Wordsmithing

With the scrabble craze showing no sign of abating, some more hints may come in handy. The most fundamental trick when trying to make long words out of your rack is to look for letters that can form common endings:

    -ING  -ED  -ER  -S

For example, given ASGNITR, you should remove the ING, leaving you with RSAT + ING. Now you merely have to make a four-letter word from the remaining letters, such as STARING.

How about DESTIMX? Remove the -ED, leaving STIMX + ED, and now it's apparent that you can make MISTED, MIXED or SITED.
