Why 6-Letter Words Score Big

Strategic Value of 6-Letter Words
Experienced Scrabble players know that 6-letter words are the key to consistent high scores. They’re just one letter short of a “bingo” (using all 7 tiles for a 50-point bonus), and they create excellent extension opportunities. A 6-letter word can often be extended to 7 or 8 letters in subsequent turns.
