You probably never thought of playing TOLIDINE! But it's actually commonly played, which means two things: the necessary letters will often end up in your rack and the opportunity to play the word (by linking it to something on the board) will often arise.
As usual, the list is in playrank order starting from the most often played word EUCAINE. Also, this list only applies to games played under the OWL2 word list. Note that several of these words are excellent for getting rid of vowels ("vowel dumps"), particularly the hard-to-use letter "U".
