English Words Ending In OUS
Suffixes and word endings are key to building longer words in games like Scrabble. Knowing common word endings like -OUS (such as -TION, -ABLE, -MENT, and -NESS) allows you to easily extend existing base words on the board.
For example, adding -ED or -ING to a verb can turn a 4-letter word into a 6 or 7-letter word, opening up new scoring opportunities and hitting premium tiles that were previously out of reach.
