Strategy for this list

Ten-letter words are crossword and Scrabble endgame material. In Scrabble they need three or four existing hooks — playable only on a very open board — so they're rare, but a ten-letter bingo scores over 100 points. In crosswords, ten-letter answers dominate cryptic puzzles and are usually formed by prefix + root + suffix. Studying by structure (UNDERLINED = UN + DER + LINE + D; INDUCTIONS = IN + DUCT + IONS) makes the ten-letter list tractable — you don't memorise individual words, you recognise the assembly. Practise by scrambling ten-letter answers from yesterday's puzzles.
