* The highest scoring 7-letter bingo is "MUZJIKS". The tiles total 29 points and it scores 128 on the first move.
* The highest scoring 8-letter bingo is "QUIZZIFY" (using a blank for one of the Zs). Placed on two triple-word squares with the Z on a double letter square it scores 419.
* The highest scoring 8-letter bingos without a blank are "BEZIQUES" and "CAZIQUES", which amount to 392 points when played across two triple-word squares.
* The lowest possible score for a bingo is 56. This is achieved by playing 5 one-point tiles and two blanks. The word must not be doubled or tripled, no one-point tile may be doubled or tripled, and the word must be played around or onto a single one-point letter.
* The highest scoring 15 letter bingo is theoretically "OXYPHENBUTAZONE" (an anti-inflammatory drug most often used to treat arthritis). With 8 letters already placed between three triples, the word can score 1785.[1] There are no reports of a triple-triple-triple ever being played in a competitive game, as it requires very unlikely circumstances.
