I won all three last night to take my record to 72-9:
404-350 against Sid. I played URINEMIA (64) and Sid played RATTLES (70). We played a closed board and neither of us used his blank for big points. I only got mine at the end, and we both made the blanks s’s. One of my racks was the horrible ENTTTUU. I exchanged TTUU on my next turn. The shortest steal for that rack is bUTTErNUT.
523-311 against Dave K. I played JOUNCED (80), TOILETED (80), ISOLATE (75) and STAYSAIL (76). My rack for the fourth bingo was AILSSTY and I was happy that I found its only two 8LW, the other being TRYSAILS. I held the rack EIKLNOT yet the only letter that builds through to make an 8LW is a blank k for KNOTLIkE. Dave played HAuNTER (77).
522-328 against John D. I played VIROIDS (85), SCANTER (79) and tORNADO (69). John played DETAiLER (68) and STORMIER (72). I played first and my opening rack was JOORSVY. How I wished to play second with the chance of getting an E for OVERJOYS.
