The bonus word can really screw things up. If you tiptoe around the Ks and Gs on the board, afraid to play them because you want to get that bonus word, then what have you got? A board, full of useless Ks and Gs, that's impossible to make any decent moves on. It's best (in my experience) not to focus on the bonus word, unless all the letters present themselves at the same time, and you can shift the board to line it up.

Note: There is a directory in the program files where you can edit the bonus word dictionary. I haven't done that because I want to know my best score without cheating.
