Finding bingos in Scrabble with 7-letter words is undoubtedly much easier than finding eight-letter ones– however, it's not impossible! Understanding letter tendencies in 8-letter words are key here.

However, there are only a few S tiles in any given word game, so relying on this frequency could be the wrong move. Focus on other common ending letters like D, E, T, G, or R. Suffixes are also key.
