There are some nice eight-letter words with the one- point tiles and a G that all Scrabble players should know. Here are eight you can make with the letters AEILNRS + G.
ENGRAILS decorates (e.g. the side of a coin) with small carved notches
NARGILES hookah pipes
SALERING an area in a market where animals are sold
SANGLIER a wild boar
Or if you have a T in place of the S:
TERAGLIN Australian fish
