Vowel management
Opening with I clears vowel pressure from an overloaded rack. Many 3-letter I-starters have manageable consonant combinations that fit naturally around board letters already in play. If your rack contains two or more vowels, look first for words in this list that consume more than one vowel so you leave a better consonant-vowel balance for your next draw.
