If you are ahead, do try to keep your score moving along and worry less about bonus-hunting.Дў. The score, if you are behind, you may have to go for a bonus. A word of warning, however, having tiles like ING siting on your rack might tempt you to keep them in hope of getting compatible tiles for a bingo, but there are also othe factors to consider.ДЎ. Seven or eight or even nine and ten letter words hardly ever show up on your rack in order, so how then do you find the the word that can earn you that fifty lovely bonus points? Try looking for prefixes or suffixes like PRE- PRO- ANTI- DIS- MIS- OUT- OVER- DE- RE- EN- IN- UN- CON- SUB-, -ING -ED -ER -EST -ISE -IZE -IER -IEST -ISH -ABLE -AGE -ATE -ANT -ENT -IST -ISM -LESS -NESS -TION -LY. Now, I come to the part about actually getting the bingoes. Keep letters that go together, like if you have a hand of C,D,G,K,W and two vowels, it would be wiser to play G W and a vowel than C D and a vowel as being left with C,D,K would be easier to play than G,K,W which do not really go together. (you can refer to my previous post for the best letters to keep in your rack). Of course, I should get started! Now, as the tiles lower in point value are easier to form bingoes with, obviously they should be kept to play those bonus words. Rarer letters have higher point values as they supposedly are harder to form words with, while vowels and the above mentioned letters appear often. For example, if you were to flip through a newspaper, you are likely to find more vowels, and letters L,N,R,T and few J,Q,X,Z. This is because these letters are also more common in daily usage of language. The tiles with low point values are more common in the bag. I have not bothered to count, but you will probably never pick up such a hand, unless of course you are really REALLY unlucky.Дid you know that different alphabets have different values and amounts in the bag? They are as such for a reason. Have you ever calculated the chances of opening the game but stuck with C,J,K,Q,V,X,Z ?A lot of high point tiles, but unable to make any move. Yes, I too have recieved totally lousy racks like one with five I tiles, and even one where the highest move I could make (I was opening) was AA (4 points). For the opening moves, yes, but subsequently, it would also depend on your rack management. One might say that getting a good rack is purely through luck. (5 one-point tiles and 2 blanks, one of which connected to a one-point tile)(Long post ahead, let's get started!!!) I have some other tips, this time, about BINGOES!!!! Woo hoo! Play one of these, and the minimum you can get is 56. I know the previous post may be a little long, but it is useful (right?).
