8-Letter Bingo Strategy
Scan the board for hooks: Look for single letters that extend into 8-letter words. An existing E lets you play MAXIMIZE through it. An O enables FOXHOUND.
Know your stems: Common 7-letter stems like SATIRE+N, RETAIN+S can become 8-letter words through board letters. Memorise which stems extend to 8.
Position for premium squares: 8-letter words span more board space, increasing odds of hitting DWS or TWS. Plan placement before committing tiles.
