Welcome to Episode 22 of Scrabble History, a series where I break down some of the most incredible plays, epic rivalries, and amazing moments in Scrabble's rich competitive history.
Playing bingos is a key part of tournament Scrabble strategy, since playing all 7 of your tiles earns a whopping 50 extra bonus points. But the vast majority of bingos are 7 and 8 letter words, since players are limited to 7 letters on their rack at a time. Playing 9 and 10 letter words is extremely rare. But in this video, you'll see something even rarer: some of the most impressive 11 and 12 letter bingos ever played in English-language tournament Scrabble history!
