TEAR OIL is NOT REAL

TEAROIL and NOTREAL are the two most ‘high prob’ combinations you can get that do not make a 7 letter word. As you try to get nice bingo friendly letters on your rack you are bound to occasionally get these combinations instead.

If you get lemons then make lemonade is the appropriate analogy. Even if these letters are not quite right for LEMONADE. Since these letters don’t make a 7 letter word, but you are bound to see these combinations quite often it is important to be able to spot any opportunities to play an 8 letter word
