Imagine you have the following letters in your rack: TANBIES If you've studied the bingo stems, you might notice that you have SATINE + B. Once you realize that six of your letters are SATINE, then you will immediately realize you likely have a bingo, you just have to find it. Since your seventh letter is a B, then you have two seven letter word possibilities: basinet and banties. Now, all you have to do is find a place to play one of them on the board. You might not always have a place to play your bingo word, but you might. The key to using bingo stems is to always inspect your rack to see if you happen to have one. Then, if you do, you know you likely have a seven letter word on your rack. Even if you haven't memorized all of the words in the matrix, just knowing you might have a bingo opportunity will help you find it. Let us know if we can clarify this concept better. Happy playing.
