Team Quixote - Chat

[Amanda]

It's honestly because I thought of cheque from your side of the pond and then tried to figure out where else I could get a que in there lol.

This is also for a whole quarter of a year so I wonder if it's confined to the number of tiles in scrabble or if we might run into a Q again

[Janeylou]

I just presumed they were random so not necessarily the amount in a full game.

[Saige]

Hiya! Just wanted to drop in and clarify - now that we're past the first round, you don't need to read for all 10 letters before adding a new word. So if you'd like to spell something now without a book for I and F, go ahead! Just remember that the letters don't disappear unless you use them, so you will need to read for those two eventually

[Ellen-Arwen]

Just to say (can't remember if I've already posted this), I'm away with limited internet access for the next week, so I will post things if/when I can in the spreadsheet and let you guys do the magic on the board! If that's okay :)

You're all amazing by the way

@Dee, remember you can only use the first initial of the first name :)

[Amanda]

I finished a Z yesterday that I'll post.

Isn't it: 4. MC’s first or last name begins with the letter?

Sorry 🙈 I'm misreading again or thinking of another challenge.

[Jessica]

For buddy reads, do we wait until everyone's finished before posting?

[Kim]

Jessica wrote: "For buddy reads, do we wait until everyone's finished before posting?"

nope you can post as you go along or wait til you finish and do your 4 updates. it's your preference. i like as you go, because then you can comment on each other's thoughts

[Amanda]

We could do prize off the top P with Z on a triple letter score right?

[Amanda]

Jessica wrote: "For buddy reads, do we wait until everyone's finished before posting?"

Don;t wait for me, you'll be waiting forever lol. Hoping to get more read after the kiddo goes down tonight

oooh, that would be good! :)

[Trio]

Is he any better today Amanda?

[Trio]

I had a book that fit... I posted in the Reviews thread and added to the SS. Let me know if I should have done anything differently since I didn't add it to the "banked books" thread and used it directly for the letter. thanks :)

[Amanda]

Trio wrote: "Is he any better today Amanda?"

He is 100% today so now we have to try to undo all the bad habits we started while he was sick lol

[Janeylou]

Ive just finsished an F ..but is also got a Z , shall i just pop into bank for a bit as we dont need it right now .

Next book also has a F ..but Q as well

[Amanda]

It looks like Toshita has an F book banked that does not have those difficult letters so I'll post for it!

I'll move my I book up. Even if someone finishes before me it'll be good to have some I books banked

[DeeNeez]

Currently with letters available to place,

We can spell FRENZY with FRENZ (L3-L7) on top of the Y of HARMONY….It will also hit a double word square.

Shall we post for it?

[Janeylou]

Can i just ask . Are we playing this with English spelling or American spelling

[DeeNeez]

I have no idea on this challenge.

My regular scrabble group uses both.

i prefer FRENZY, as we can more easily use the Z in future words. doing PRIZE horizontal would line us up for "Z_O_" words and i don't know any that fit that lol

I agree with this :)

I'll check

[DeeNeez]

Posted for FRENZY

[Saige]

Janeylou wrote: "Can i just ask . Are we playing this with English spelling or American spelling"

I'll accept either/both! The only rule is that the word has to be in the official Scrabble dictionary for the US or UK - so basically it just has to be a real word, whatever spelling

[Janeylou]

Ok thanks 😊

[DeeNeez]

New letters:

I, A, N, M, K, O

[DeeNeez]

I have an A… 565 pages Buddy Read book doubles points
Arcanum

Buddy read https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[DeeNeez]

We can spell JASMINE (A11-G11) and it hit a Double Word square for 32pts

That’s the best I can think of 🤔

thank goodness - good luck with breaking the bad habits though lol

[Kim]

I haven’t played scrabble in a while so can confirm I did not do the math. Could we do NINJA (off the N in harmony) and get double word points?

[Kim]

Then do MASK off the end for another double word?

[DeeNeez]

Kim wrote: "Then do MASK off the end for another double word?"

Great idea!
JASMINE =32 (A11-G11)
MASK = 20 (D11-D14)

Both words hit doubles so it would give us 52 pts!


Kim wrote: "I haven’t played scrabble in a while so can confirm I did not do the math. Could we do NINJA (off the N in harmony) and get double word points?"

NINJA with Double only gives us 12 pts

[Kim]

Teamwork!

[Kim]

i should be finishing up my book that starts with I tomorrow

[Toshita]

Kim wrote: "i should be finishing up my book that starts with I tomorrow"

I had a book in the banked tab that worked for I so I went ahead and posted it! It looks like we have two Is though so we'll definitely need your book as well :)

[Trio]

for last letter of publisher - would Dreamspinner Press be an "R" or an "S"? thanks

[DeeNeez]

I believe it would be S

[Kim]

Perfect! Thanks for giving me time Toshita!

[Jessica]

Hi Team,

Right now we have a lot of banked books so need to get the words submitted quicker.

Is everyone okay if we submit words once three people have voted yes?

[Jessica]

I have submitted reviews for three banked books.

BABYLUNLUN Alice in April N
TRIO The Golden Dragon's Unexpected Mate K
JANEYLOU Open for Business O

[Jessica]

I have submitted JASMINE

[Toshita]

Scrabble is not one of my strengths lol. So I'm happy to let other people make the decisions on what words to submit!

[Toshita]

Also I was looking through the banked books and it looks like we can finish all of the letters except for I so I went ahead posted for them! Someone much better at Scrabble than me, pls figure out what word we can make lol

[Jessica]

Thanks for doing that Toshita!

Shall we do Jock 11-15A? triple word score
