I only anagrammed some of them, but it looks like they all only take e back hooks?

[scrabblek8]

yup! they are the only eights that only hook with E.

[scrabblek8]

well, only back hook with E - some of them may also take front hooks - i didn't look at that closely.

Er, not quite true. They all contain one anagram that takes only an E on the back.

[scrabblek8]

yeah - that's more accurate.
