Why words ending in ER are everywhere
The -ER ending does double duty in English: it builds comparatives (bigger, faster) and agent nouns (teacher, player). That makes it one of the most common two-letter endings in the language — and one of the most useful to memorize for word games.
In Scrabble, -ER is a flexible hook: add it to adjectives for comparatives or to verbs for the person who does the action, often landing on premium squares. Heavy hitters include manufacturer (19), hardcover (18) and jennifer (18).
