Strategy for this list

Six-letter words sit one letter short of a bingo, which makes them the most important bingo-setup length. A good turn often plays a six-letter word that keeps a seven-letter shape in the leave. Six-letter plays score 18-30 in normal positions and 45-plus over a double-word square. The strongest six-letter words for Scrabble contain a common consonant blend (STR, TR, PR) and a vowel pair — they hook to sevens in dozens of ways. RETINA, SATINE, TISANE and OATERS are the top six-letter stems in the game because each combines with fifteen or more of the twenty-six letters to make a seven-letter bingo.
