Where 3-letter words matter
Three-letter words sit at the base of English: they include most of the function words that hold sentences together, and they're the first full words children learn to read and spell, because the common consonant-vowel-consonant pattern ('cat', 'sun', 'map') maps one sound to one letter.
In word games they're the natural extension of the two-letter dictionary — many are built by hooking a single letter onto a two-letter word, which is exactly how Scrabble players think about them. They also make excellent early rounds in spelling and phonics games, where longer words would overwhelm beginners.
