Having a knowledge of all of the two-letter words will greatly improve your Scrabble gameplay, either when you need to build off an existing tile to form a new word, or at the end of the game when you have two or three tiles left and need to dump them off as quickly as possible. Two-letter words are also very useful when playing a new word parallel (alongside, above, or beneath) to an existing word.
