Prefixes are worth less than endings

Worth saying plainly, because most advice treats them as equivalent. A prefix has to go in front of a word, which means you need an empty run of squares to the left of wherever you are building. An ending can hook onto a letter already on the board.

So learn the endings first. Prefixes earn their place in crosswords, where the grid tells you the first letter anyway, and on an open board where you have room to work leftward.
