Game Strategy
Like -ING, -ED is a bingo-maker in Scrabble: appending it to a verb stem regularly produces a 7- or 8-letter play for the 50-point bonus.
Going Deeper
The -ED suffix is everywhere because it forms the past tense and past participle of regular verbs (BAKE → BAKED, START → STARTED) and many adjectives (TIRED, SACRED). In tile games it behaves like -ING: a stem plus -ED is a frequent path to a bingo, and the ending hooks onto existing words. When your rack holds a spare D and E, scanning for -ED plays is often the highest-scoring option. Feed your letters to the unscrambler to see every one you can make.
