-TION Bingo Strategy
Hold TION tiles together: When you see T+I+O+N on your rack, treat them as a unit. You only need 3-4 more tiles to complete a bingo. Scan for Q+U+E+S (QUESTION), F+R+A+C (FRACTION), or P+O+S+I (POSITION).
Use -TION as a rack leave target: After playing short words, try to keep T+I+O+N on your rack. These tiles cost nothing to hold (4 points total) and set up your next draw for a bingo play worth 60+ points.
Pair with premium squares: 8-letter -TION words often reach triple-word scores. QUESTION through a TWS = 51 base + 50 bonus = 101 points in one turn. Position your play to maximize letter multipliers on Q or F.
