Front hooks: two-letter words that take a letter in front
A front hook is one letter added in front of a word already on the board. Play it so the tile also forms a word in the other direction and you score both.
Below, each two-letter word is followed by every three-letter word it becomes with one letter in front. Learn the two-letter word first, then its hooks.
