I won all three last night to take my record to 64-8:
428-307 against Olivia. I played EnTENTE (65, huzzah for triple duplication), ROOMIEST (72) and lIONIZES (67). Near the end of the game I finally got a B to play BROOMIEST, the only front hook. One of my racks was EIILPSY which makes no 7LW yet builds only through a T for PYELITIS. Another potential rack was DILOOSU, which also makes no 7LW yet builds through an M for MODIOLUS and a Y for ODIOUSLY.
444-391 against Dave K. The rack for my first bingo was EIJORU? and I knew exactly what to do with it. Since I had posted my report about Scrabble across the southern Atlantic Ocean only a few days ago, I recall that I had that exact same rack in game #58. I thus knew that there was only one 7LW, and that was bOUJIER, which I played for 85. It was my second play and there was no possibility for any of the 8LW (JOIntURE, JOUncIER or JUnIOREd). Flash and style! I also played SPIDERY (74) and LAXNESS (116). There are no 8LW with either SPIDERY? or LAXNESS? Dave played ATELIEr (65).
445-366 against Sid. I played ARCADEs (83) and Sid played ZESTIER (80) and RAiNIEST (76).

Dave had good points against you — i e., almost 400 for playing only one bingo!
