About Words Containing N
Six N tiles per Scrabble set at just 1 point reflect N's exceptional frequency in English text. The -ION suffix (MOTION, VISION, PASSION), -ING suffix (RUNNING, LEARNING), -TION suffix (TRANSITION, COMPLETION), and -MENT suffix (MOVEMENT, AGREEMENT) together account for a massive share of all English noun and verb forms — and every one of them ends in N. Double-N words like PENNANT, ANNOUNCE, INNOCENT, and RUNNING form a productive sub-list where NN reinforces a stressed short vowel. NOUN is elegant in its simplicity: a 4-letter meta-word describing itself by category.
