Why players ask
AW is the sound of mild protest or sympathy, and it is playable. It joins WO as one of the two places a W can go in two tiles, which between them mean a W never has to sit dead on your rack. The A is the commonest tile in the bag, so the pairing comes up constantly.
Every short word in one place
Short plays are worth learning as a set rather than one at a time: the two-letter reference is the place to do that, and the Scrabble hub handles the Q, Z, X and J lists alongside the scoring.
