Game Strategy
-ER is a versatile Scrabble ending: it turns verbs into agent nouns (BAKE → BAKER) and adjectives into comparatives (FAST → FASTER), often reaching bingo length.
Going Deeper
Two big families end in -ER: agent nouns (TEACHER, MAKER, WRITER, PLAYER) and comparatives (FASTER, LONGER, BIGGER). Both are productive, so -ER pairs with a huge number of stems — which makes it, like -ING and -ED, a frequent route to a seven-letter bingo. The R and E are common tiles, so you will often hold the makings of an -ER play. Feed your rack to the unscrambler to list every valid one.
