Answer 4

national scrabble association (nsa) members call it a bingo. play the hasbro version (they're the north american manufacturers) on your pc and it will declare "BINGO" with much fanfare.

when i joined the nsa over 7 years ago, i couldn't believe they used the name of an unrelated game as the name for this! you're telling me a bunch of word lovers couldn't come up with something unique??! :op

since you're emptying your rack, how about calling it a "racko"? oh wait, that's another game too... ;o)

Answer 5

The official term according to the game's manufacturer, Mattel, is "Bonus."  "Bingo" is often used in its place.
