Strategy Tips
SYNERGY is your bingo play: At 7 letters using all common tiles (S, Y, N, E, R, G, Y), SYNERGY gives you 61 points with the bingo bonus. The double Y is unusual but Y appears once in the tile bag — use a blank for the second.
Double-G words clear dead tiles: FOGGY, GROGGY, BUGGY, and SOGGY all use multiple G tiles. G is only worth 2 points and can clog your rack — these -GY words turn that liability into 11-13 point plays.
Short -GY words for tight boards: EDGY (4 letters, 9pts) and ORGY (4 letters, 8pts) fit in cramped positions. When the board is locked down, these compact plays still deliver decent scores.
💡 Key Insight
The -GY suffix is a G-tile escape valve. When your rack has two or three G tiles dragging you down, scan for -GY words first — FOGGY, GROGGY, MUGGY, SOGGY all turn that dead weight into respectable scores.
