Geometry Word Strategy
X is the geometry letter: Three of five words contain X (8pts). When you draw X, think shapes: HEXAGON (7, bingo), VERTEX (6, flexible), AXIS (4, tight spots). Geometry gives X multiple homes.
Short words for tight boards: AXIS (4 letters, 11pts) and PRISM (5 letters, 9pts) play anywhere. When the board is locked, these compact math terms score well in parallel plays or tight corners.
HEXAGON and POLYGON are bingos: Both are 7 letters — use your entire rack for the 50-point bonus. HEXAGON scores 18+50=68 minimum. On a premium square, this can reach 100+ points.
