Strategy for this list

Seven-letter words are the bingo length — playing all seven tiles at once earns a 50-point bonus. A typical bingo scores 65-85 points and swings the game by 40. The seven-letter list is dominated by common stem-plus-one shapes (RETINAS, STAINED, ANSWERS). Study by stem, not alphabetically: learn the many attachments of the six-letter roots SATIRE, RETINA, TISANE and OATERS and you will spot bingos in racks you previously wrote off. Vowel-heavy sevens (AERIEST, AIRIEST) rescue overloaded vowel racks; consonant-heavy sevens (CRYPTOS, FLYPAST, BRIGHTS) rescue the reverse. Any serious Scrabble improver spends most of their study time on this length.
