Why -ING words are a word gamer's best friend
-ING is the most productive suffix in English. Add it to almost any verb and you get a fresh, longer word — which is exactly why -ING endings dominate Scrabble bingos, anagram puzzles and crossword answers. Holding the letters I, N, G on your rack keeps dozens of long plays alive at once.
In Scrabble, -ING is a classic bingo ending: a six-letter verb stem plus I-N-G (using a board letter or a blank) plays all seven tiles for the 50-point bonus. In Wordle-style games, spotting the -ING tail instantly locks three of five positions.
