Using an ending rather than memorising words

This is the habit that separates players who find bonus words from players who do not. Stop looking at your rack as seven separate letters and start looking for a stem plus an ending. If -ism is sitting in your tiles, the real question is what 4 letter word the rest of your rack makes.

The same trick solves crosswords. Search the pattern ?????ism and you will see how few options an ending really leaves.
