This page will give some tips on how to learn the seemingly endless lists of words. Some of the techniques may not be considered politically correct, however keep in mind these tips are not the author's ideas but are time tested techniques.
Tip
1> The
ONLY adjective in the dictionary ending in ILE e.g. agile,
hostile, sterile, fertile, etc. which has a comparitive or
superlative form is VILE. VILE, VILER, VILEST.
All others do not !!!
Tip 2> Lets say you want to learn all the three letter words that start with KA_. Well do you remember your first high school crush? Yep thats right I am talking about Betsy F. So if you take each letter in Betsy F and put it after KA you will get all the words i.e.
Kab, Kae, Kat, Kas, Kay, Kaf
Tip
3> Now how
about the three letter words that end with _AE. For this you need to
be on a little secret and that is "Gloria
Has
Kissed
More
Navy
Sailors
Than
Wanda".
Now that you know that, take all the first letters and put them
before AE, i.e.
Gae, Hae, Kae, Mae, Nae, Sae, Tae, Wae
Tip
4> All the
AE words take an s at the end except for N, S, T. How to remember
that? hmmmmm.... maybe there is " No
Such
Thing"
as a 's' at the end of Nae, Sae and Tae.
Tip
5> Are you
a Simpson Fan? To become an expert scrabble player you will have to
become a Simpson fan, for I am discovering a mysterious relationship
between scrabble and the Simpsons. Since
"Homer
Simpson
Lost"
is a safe bet, you can be assured of remembering all the AA_ words
ie
Aah, Aas, Aal
Tip 6>Do you remember the Simpsons episode where "Homer Simpson Kisses Patsy"? Well neither do I. But I do know the AS_ words
Ash, Ass, Ask, Asp
Tip 7>We all know the famous "Awwwwwww" in sitcoms and talk shows when a person Z professes his or her love to the other person who by the way is not in love with person Z. So "An Enigmatic Love Nest" is the way to remember AW_ words
Awa, Awe, Awl, Awn
Tip 8> AT_ Seven o clock "Eastern Time" everybody won a million dollars. Nope no one won the lottery but you can remember the AT_ words, i.e
Ate, Att
Tip 9> For the religious people _OH words will be easy to remember, since "Forget Not Our Prayers" is a valid concern of all religious people
Foh, Noh, Ooh, Poh
Tip
10> Since
"Dolores
Loves
More
Navy
Sailors
Than
Rachel
", we should not have a problem remembering the AI_
words
Aid, Ail, Aim, Ain, Ais, Ait, AirHome
