Why 6-letter words are bingo fuel

Six-letter words sit in a strategic sweet spot. On their own they score solidly, but their real power is as bingo fuel: hold a flexible six-letter stem and you are one tile away from playing all seven tiles for Scrabble's 50-point bingo bonus.

Experienced players memorize six-letter combinations built from common letters — stems like SATIRE, SENIOR and LEARNT combine with many seventh letters. When your rack looks like one of these stems, play a small word to fish for the missing tile instead of breaking the stem up.
