Why MEGA Works Well
💡 Key Insight
MEGA combines scoring power with vocabulary familiarity. Unlike obscure prefixes, most MEGA words are everyday technology terms (megabyte, megapixel, megaphone) that players already know. You don't need to memorize exotic word lists — just recognize the prefix on your rack.
MEGA Bingo Strategy
3 tiles to bingo: MEGA + POD = MEGAPOD (7 letters, 63pts with bonus). Three common tiles complete the job.
M provides anchor value: M is worth 3 points and there are only 2 in the bag. When you have M, think MEGA immediately — the remaining E, G, A are all common 1-2 point tiles.
Tech vocabulary advantage: MEGABYTE, MEGAPIXEL, MEGAWATT — these are words everyone knows from daily life. No memorization needed, just pattern recognition on your rack.
Premium square targeting: Place M on a Double Letter for 6 points from one tile, or G on a Triple Letter for 6 points. MEGA on a Double Word square scores 14 without extensions.
