I played four games outside of the South Bend Scrabble Players Championship and won them all. How I wish I could have played that well during the main event.
01 FAWNiESt (76) ERASION (78) REDOX (60) / SLANTED (76) 417-293 Dave Postal
I got rid of some awful tiles by playing MIKVEH through a K; thus my rack contained HMV.
02 NITRILES (59) DRAFTING (70) INSTATED (68) AvIATED (66) / none 477-290 Mike Johnson
In an amazing coincidence I played HUMVEE to its final E, thus I rid my rack–again–of the horrid HMV. Mike would go on to have an amazing tournament and win Division Two.
03 gUSTIER (78) / NEWSIER (68) TONNAgE (60) 395-381 Mark
04 APhORATE (86)* AIRSIDE (76) / none 458-301 Mark
I was confusing APHORATE with EPHORATE or PHORATE.
