Why ask Y?

My studying is starting to get stupid. I barely start one set of notecards when I start thinking about what notecards to make next.

My last set may seem a bit arbitrary, but I'm sure I can rationalize it to you somehow. I made up a huge stack of notecards (62 cards, 10 words per card, about 4 hours of intensive labor) in which I put all the five letter words that contain a Y that I didn't already know. In other words, the Y 5s.

It may seem a bit early to start this kind of serious work on the 5s, given the fact that I really don't have the 4s down. But I've decided that you can't really make notecards for the 4s. They're too boring. But 5s are just right for notecards, especially if you add the hooks.

My reason for doing the Ys is that I created a list of the highest scoring 5 letter words that didn't have JQXZ. I thought there might be a lot of K words. But actually, most of them were Y words. In fact, I originally was going to make a set of K 5s, since I had the JQXZ words down, and K is the next highest letter, but then I thought:

#1: There are two Ys as opposed to one K per game.
#2: There are more a lot of Y hooks: words that you can add a Y to the end of, like MATE to make MATEY.
#3: There are many two letter Y words. K only has KA.

So the world better watch out because soon I'll start playing words like DYNEL and YAMUN without even thinking twice. In fact, the wow factor might end making my opponents think that I know a lot more words than I do. In which case I can play random five letter phoneys with K in them, because I won't know what the heck to do with my K.
