I am puzzled. If I remember correctly a “Bingo” is awarded after using all 7 letters. You also have to connect with the existing letter structure. ANALOGS is indeed 7 letters but you would need at least one to connect, so 7 letters for an at least 8 letter word. Was this perhaps meant to be ANALOGUES? Or maybe eLottie is flim-flamming Claire.

If anyone’s reply involves the word hamper, I will have to go over in the corner and keep quiet.
