I was gone all day and just came on a few minutes ago but I have a post ready for our move. It's Lexicologists turn right?

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

Yes, Mary: HDSL. Post away.

[Mary X]

gah i just realized one of the books on my list is too short. have to re-configure.

[Mary X]

OK the Lexicologists are ready:

I don't know if I have the points right. I am thinking we should get points for making a new word out of an existing one to create our word right?

Yellow Board: O1-04 down.

Turning Jin into Jinx and playing Axon off the X.

Well done, everyone! A few little minor kinks, but another week down.

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

I'm going to take a long break. The other Mods are working on your point breakdowns; we will post tomorrow.

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

Logan ,S was already on the board so can bank your S book.

[Mary X]

I can't seem to find where the rankings are. I know I'm probably going right by it somewhere.

Mary: HD♥S, it is under each Team's Official Word Postings (Saturdays) thread, which for you is here .

However, we haven't finished triple checking the points yet. Nevertheless, we do believe your Team received 54 points this week.

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

Please Note: On the Blue Board, the word SQUEAKY was spelled with a blank tile for the letter "U." (Placement: 12-C) It will remain that letter for the remainder of the game; it has no point value.

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

To see Week #3's breakdown of points click on the image below to get to the Scrabble Points Posted Spreadsheet. Please let us know if you have any questions or see any errors.

This information and link is also posted in your secret groups under you Official Word Postings (Saturdays) thread for Word #3, Post #4.

Your cumulative totals are off to the far right of the spreadsheet.



Update on Week #4's Posting Time is also in your Official Word Postings (Saturdays) threads, Post #9, or here:

Your Weekly Tiles on Your Rack thread, Post #5, has also been updated as far as we are able. Please note that there are some Teams with Week #3 pending indicated, as we have NOT heard back from everyone on Banked Books and "cupcaked" tiles/letters.

Teams who have put in their cupcake cash-in requests are as follows:

Spellbounders
Scrabbadabbadoos
Hook & Letter

Your available cupcakes are indicated on the Scrabble Cupcake Spreadsheet, Page 2.

For cashing-in cupcakes, you have until midnight tonight, my time - or about 8 hours.

[Turtlecollector Dennis]

We used our S from our 'cupcaked' letters in Week 3. We should only have the other 3 'cupcaked' letters for Week 4.

Let me check into it, T. I'll get back to you.

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

I see it, T. I'll correct it.

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

Fixed it here, Turtlecollector (secret group). Thanks for letting us know; we appreciate it.

[Rebecca NJ]

Posting clarification for TEAM Mighty ZYZZYVAS (original post: Week 3 - Message #98)


TITLES - WORD: MOD

Yellow Board. K9 - M9
MOD (acceptable word). M (3) O (1) D (2x2=4) for a total of 8. Hooking with INCENSE(D) gives us another 11, hooking with W (WO and acceptable word) gives us another 5. 24 points total.

Ipshita: M Mr. Perfect COMPLETED 8/20

Lara: O Oath of Swords COMPLETED 8/16

Rebecca NJ: D Dad Is Fat COMPLETED 8/18

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

Thanks, Rebecca NJ! And thanks for the link to the old post, too.

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

Team Supercalicrabblestic:

Per Post #142, your points have been adjusted as follows:

Points for TOXIN:

T = 1 (x2LS) = 2 [T placed on premium square 1st time twice]

O = 1

X = 8 (x2LS) = 16 [X placed on premium square 1st time twice]

I = 1

N = 1

Total for first word = 21


AT = 3 [T placed on premium square 1st time twice]

OX = 17 [X placed on premium square 1st time twice]

BI = 4

Total for Hooking = 24

GRAND TOTAL = 45 points

Sorry for the error; we had not researched that issue until Turtlecollector questioned it.

[Logan]

Okay, thanks. But 21+24=45 instead of 44. :)

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

Logan wrote: "Okay, thanks. But 21+24=45 instead of 44. :)"

Corrected. Sorry. Yes, those tiles/letters that are already on the board and used in more than one word are pesky little devils. That is why they are color-coded in that orange shade, to alert us. But, alas, I still messed it up.

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

I should have waited for Online Elf to double check me. **deep sigh**

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

BTW, Team Supercalicrabblestic, on the spreadsheet, please note that in cell 38H, there is 25, not 24 (as noted for "hooking" above, to compensate for the missing multiplication/addition of "O."

[Turtlecollector Dennis]

PLACEMENT: Yellow board
Start: 15H going across to spell JETON
Total Points: 44 (N on 2xLS, word on 3xWS, makes 2 other words-SO and AN)

[Mary X]

I'm confused. Why has posting started so early?

never mind, I see that the first team is allowed to post early.

[ShoSho , Moderator]

The first team can post whenever they want and it would be second team turn.
Only that the teams had chosen not to post early.

P.s. Turtlecollector and team Spellbounders , mods love you for posting early!
