About Words Ending With A

Many words ending in A come from foreign borrowings: Italian (PIZZA, GONDOLA, STROGANOFF, SOPRANO, TORNADO, TORO, LAVA, ARIA, CUCINA, FASCIA, CAMERA, UMBRA), Spanish (BANDANA, HAMACA, TORNADO, CAYA, MARCA, NADA, SALSA, GUAVA, FIESTA), and Latin (ARENA, ALPHA, OMEGA, ULTIMA, EXTRA, LACUNA, FAUNA, FLORA). In Scrabble, these rare endings often score unexpectedly because opponents expect neither the word nor the unusual ending. PIZZA, COBRA, ALPHA, AREA, AREA, ALGA, AURA, AVOWA, AZURE — all are valid bonus-square targets.

•Many A-enders are food-related: PIZZA, GONDOLA, FIESTA give bonus squares unexpected coverage.
•ALPHA and OMEGA (beginning and end) together are both valid — perfect for the alpha player's end game.
•The -A ending is especially valuable after Q (without U) and other high-point tiles.
