Common Prefixes in the English Dictionary

A prefix is a set of letters that start a word. For instance in the word prenuptial the sufix would be considered pre. In the english dictionary there are many forms of prefixes that can be added to words to make another word. In scrabble it works the same way. When looking at your scrabble baord layout and looking at options to use words, make sure you keep a prefix in mind to add in addition to another word already on the board. You can score even more points by doing this.
