After an 8-year long break from Scrabble it's very interesting for me to observe how my approach to mastering the game has changed. It looks like my experience with data analysis had some influence on how I'm viewing the game. Plus I'm now equipped with some tools (SQL and Power Query) to better help me analyse the CSW19 lexicon.
One of the results of this is the list of unusual back hooks you can find below.
The list includes 7 letter words with exactly one back hook which is not an S.
I have excluded the T hooks to words ending with -IES (e.g. GOATIES-T or SILLIES-T).
