ОглавлениеJust as you can use six-letter stems to help you remember lots of useful seven-letter words, you can take seven-letter stems and use them to find eight-letter words. About half of all bonus words played are eight-letter words – you can’t afford to neglect them.
Let’s take a rack like AEGILNR; you may be able to play one of the seven-letter words it makes – ALIGNER, ENGRAIL (decorate a coin), LAERING (from laer, make a circle with wagons), LEARING, NARGILE (another name for hookah), REALIGN, REGINAL (queenly). But if it’s the sort of board that’s more amenable to eight-letter bonuses, it’s good to be able to call on the likes of these:
| +A: | GERANIAL used in (lemony) perfume |
| REGALIAN regal | |
| +B: | BLEARING |
| +C: | CLEARING |
| RELACING | |
| +D: | DANGLIER |
| DEARLING darling | |
| +E: | ALGERINE woollen cloth |
| +F: | FINAGLER one who finagles, achieves their ends via trickery |
