Scrabble bingo
Last night I played a four-person game of Scrabble with some friends. I played a bingo word for the second time in my life. The word was zoologic. One 'o' was a blank, and the word played on a 'c' from another player. In retrospect, I made an error by placing the blank on a double letter score, which could have been a real 'o'. Since the word hit a double-word space, this change could have made the word worth an extra 2 points. Oh well. I still kicked butt with a final score of about 237 with the next best score at around 150. (I don't recall the details.)
Admittedly, I did cheat a little. (And I confessed afterwards!) It was near the end of the game, and no 'c' tiles on the board were useable. The player prior to me wanted help choosing a word since all he had were consonants. I helped him make 'clod' and 'id', which I thought was actually the best possible play for his tiles and the board configuration. Coincidentally (or maybe not so much), it also gave me a 'c' for 'zoologic'.
Sorry Craig for abusing your trust! I did give you a great play for what you had, though.
