About the Word:
The SCRABBLE sense of hook isn't found in standard dictionaries, but it's defined on the North American SCRABBLE Players Association as:
a letter that can be played at the front or the back of another word to form a new word; also : the word formed by such an action
SCRABBLE players don't limit themselves to adding S to the end of a word. A single letter can make for surprising changes in the meaning or sound of a word. G can be hooked to the back of ASPIRIN to form ASPIRING and P can be hooked to the front of IRATE to form PIRATE.
Members of the NASPA Facebook community shared some of their favorite hooks:

- I-SLANDER
