I won two out of three last night so my record this season is 13-2:
491-278 against Azeez. I played GUnSHoT (98) and BEWAILS (74).
536-320 against John D. I played INOSITE (74), SYBARITE (102) and PREUNITe (82) while John played YONDERS (82) and DELATES (68). I lost a challenge when he hooked YONDERS onto the end of CAUL to make CAULS. Naturally I challenged both words but I believed, mistakenly, that CAUL did not take an -S. I didn’t think it was a noun, thus, and had some other part of speech. I was lucky that on John’s subsequent play he didn’t block the E I needed to play the DWS-DWS SYBARITE.
398-423 against Steve. I struggled through some vowel-heavy racks at the beginning but with my rack of AAEIRRS what does Steve play in the preceding move but MUFTI, giving me both an F to play AIRFARES and another I to play ARIARIES. I played the latter for 68, then later got down VElOUTE (80). Steve played TANGIER (68), ANTIROLl (59, playing it to my l in VElOUTE) and SEDILIA (64).
