Wordle
Ends in X, making it rare in Wordle. The LUX cluster at the end is highly distinctive. Very few 6-letter words end in LUX, so X in position 6 almost clinches this word.
Scrabble
Worth 16 points. X (8) makes this a powerhouse play. INFLUX on a double word square scores 32. Rarely hookable due to the X ending.
