How to Win at Scrabble: Finding Bingos 

I have one word: underrated. I don't get why you aren't at like 100k subs, THIS is a really really good tutorial, liked and subbed

8:39 I IMMEDIATLEY saw the word Defiant. It didn't take long after to spot fainted, which would be the more common option I think.

When I first started playing I found ed, er/re, and ing, and I moved light-years ahead. I was already pretty decent at bingo finding for a beginner since I read a lot and worked with books, but just learning those sent me to the moon. My favorite bingo is from the Q with no U; MBAQANGAS, which I have played twice; once challenged, earning me a extra turn.

This is really helpful! I love the graphs you use, and that you actually put numbers and data to the words with each letter in them. The dictionary is SO big, it can be so intimidating to even start thinking about how many words are available to us, but you are so good at presenting this information in a digestible way.

Great video! It's fun to compare your instinctive percentages to the actual percentages. I was surprised at first to see M ever so slightly above C for words ending in a letter. But then it makes sense with -ISM, -IUM, -UM, -FORM, -NYM, -IM, -DOM (and -ROOM and -WORM). M is a fun ending letter!

Only just found your channel today, but it's for sure peeking an interest revisiting old board games in their new digital format (chess, scrabble). With not being a native English speaker and writer, some of your proposed finds didn't even register as being existing words, so being very familiar and good friends with the English dictionary will of course help in addition to these wonderful tips :) Greetings from the Netherlands! #subscribed

Just started scrabble a few days ago and hit gold with this video. A great confidence booster.

I have binge watched so many of your videos and I don't even play Scrabble, love your content and keep up the great work!

This is the best scrabble video that anyone is ever going to see , the information in this video is totally brilliant , i liked and subscribed

Don't thank me for watching, accept my thanks for creating the best video I have seen today. Following!

Great work Will. Sometimes bingos need to be approached backwards like an oe on a far away island.

Just finished watching and went to play a game and immediately found dynamite for 76! Never felt so good about my first ever bingo

3:59 "Also, if you see your opponent moving a tile to the end of their rack, likely that tile is an S."

As a former scrabble enthusiast, I never really gone for bingos. I hated opening up the board so I would rather go for those square/rectangle plays that locks down the board.

I really liked that you ended on a combination that doesn't actually have a bingo!

I'm glad I saw this video because getting a BINGO has not been one of my strong suits but now with your tips I think I am going to score many more BINGO's than I ever thought I could or would! Thanks Will

I am legendary for missing bingos. I wouldn't have it any other way! ;)

Valuable tutorial! Your analysis using graphs and charts with percentages was effective. What’s next?

I played my first bingo today and it was fainti(n)g over villain covering a double triple word scoring me a whopping 167, thanks will 🥰

LOL had this on in the background while playing online Scrabble and drew BEEGIST just while he was talking about the -EST words good tips in this vid

You don't mention the blank tiles. I'm of the opinion you shouldn't use a blank tile unless it's to lay down a bingo, or at least make a play that nets you at least 50 points. To be frank, I think the blank tiles make it too easy to get bingos. Get rid of the blank files and replace them with S tiles. (I suppose the reason there are only four S tiles in Scrabble is because they are too easy to use, but then the blank files are even easier to use. So add two more S tiles while eliminating the blank tiles, and I think you have a better game.)

S hook, -ESs, -ED, -iER, -ING, -lY, -esT, -iON, -E yup, it's not just -ED but also DE- that's quite common. If I can learn to check both at once, that will be useful

Will: I is a rare ending letter Senarii: am I a joke to you

Great video! Really well done and informative.

I have learnt a lot from this.

Isn't the goal to generally find 8 letter words because you would need to be using a tile from the board?

It would be nice if you could provide links to documents or visuals containing the data you display about various letters and suffixes so that the viewer could download them. Also I was surprised that you didn't say anything at all in your last example of the rack that contained great letters but no bingos about looking for an eighth letter on the board, such as A, that you could play through to make an 8-letter bingo.

This was neat to learn. Thank you.

Just saying, while bingos ending in any of the

Amazing tips 👌 Thank you for Sharing.

3:52 "s" cannot be tacked on to English verbs to pluralize them. Only to make them 3 person singular present.

"Kamotiq" is a valid word, the only bingo ending with Q.

GREAT VIDEO!!!!

This was really helpful. Good work and keep it up.

I have a scrabble competition coming up so I need to train

my high ass was not ready for not being able to make a word with those last letters lol

this video helped me score my first two bingos on scrabble go!

Just got a bingo doing this! Snowily! It was 72 points in total (I hooked some words)

Super helpful. Thank you!

Very comphrensive suggestions, Thank You!! interesting research.

Thank you for making these videos.

My autocorrect has the same problem. A mistyped first letter locally confuses it.

How do you tell if something is a word in many cases? For instance, the example in the video “wiriest” is a word, but it seems slightly awkward(forgive me for not being able to describe things well). Often I’ve found words which seem potentially plausible but am not sure if they are. Any tips on being more confident in the choice or do I just need to work on my vocabulary.

Thank you for this

9:42 it doesnt work if its a word that cant possibly be real

Question: why are there only 7 tiles? My Scrabble can put 8 tiles 🤔

Thank you for your advice

fantastic video thanku.

any additional value for double Chaetal or such words

awesome video!

Will can you give me the link for the annotated games in coco 2022. Not the videos,

I can't read the scrambled letters

And unless you’re playing on a digital copy that checks all words before you can play them, you can always bluff and hope the opponent doesn’t call it. :P

Great help

Thank you bro

thank you!

Frequent words are easy as hell. The hard part is the less common words

8:45 I saw Defiant
