Please do the "(deceptively)worst tile in the game" next... The letter U. I feel like it's not immediately apparent how bad this letter is as it's a vowel and there's a bunch of them, but I feel like it's the most awkward to use letter considering that it's a 1 pointer but the hardest vowel to make use of as it's also terrible as a hook(not a lot of letters end in U also it doesn't make a lot of 2 letter words). There are consonants that are easier to make use of than the U.
I tend to ignore the 6s in a lot of my statistics (but not all) because they are relatively infrequently played compared to other word lengths - but for some letters, the 6s are more important than usual, which I will be sure to discuss...
The sounds [j] and [w] (IPA), usually written as Y and W in English, are known as "semivowels"---they are composed of vowel sounds, but they function like consonants.
M is awesome because it's kinda common and worth 3 points

Hoping to get back into these videos soon, and I assure you, U is a frequently requested letter!
Should be worth 2 points
3:38 so is it a coincidence that one of your cats is called... Emmy?
Can we get a video on B? B feels kinda awkward to use for me so I’d love to see more on that
In bingos, the M continues to work poorly with the K, F, W and V.
In fluids, the M continues to work great with the K, F, W and V.
You do such a good job with these videos!
Thanks, really appreciate it!
Yeah your videos are superrr awesome
3:45 Are there 6-letter words containing the letter M?

Soon you'll have to do N/R/T. Is there anything interesting to say about those?
I think there will be, certainly comparing them to one another!
omg it's Will
HE CALLED THE Y A CONSONANT!! I can't believe it... :(
You have to do the Y now and explain to me how it is a consonant
