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

No, it misses the triple, just hits the double letter …it fits A11-A14
Points would be 18

[DeeNeez]

But we could extend JOCK to JOCKED and hit the triple!!!

Sorry not a legit scrabble word

[Janeylou]

What about JOKED

[DeeNeez]

JOKED…hits that triple …51pts

[Janeylou]

Scrabble Board is locked so only Saige can edit it but we could make a new tab for it potentially?

[Janeylou]

😄😄😄 i have to keep going back to this thread to find values all the time 🙄🙄

Thats good then ,.we havent got many vowels to play with

[Jessica]

Submitted Joked :)

Bringing that banked tab down already!

[DeeNeez]

With the new letters we can place ZINCY in J6-N6

The high point letters Z and Y both hit triple letter squares.
Total points should be 47

I’ll keep looking for possible higher points ….

[Kim]

i think that's good, we would just need a Y book

[Toshita]

Kim wrote: "i think that's good, we would just need a Y book"

There's a banked book that works for Y. I'm going to post it and another book that works for G

[DeeNeez]

Posted for ZINCY.

Fingers crossed we get some vowels next

[Janeylou]

Not been on this thread all day

What does ZINCY mean

[DeeNeez]

Zincy" or "Zinky" means "relating to, containing, or having the appearance of zinc". It's an adjective used to describe something that has properties or characteristics of the metal zinc

[Janeylou]

Well ive never come.across that before

i would never have thought that a real word. way to go!

[Trio]

Zinky is a new one to me, how odd lol.

[DeeNeez]

Oddest scrabble word I’ve come across is CWM

[Trio]

I had to look that up!

[esther ⭐️ (in school)]

wow, i didn’t know CWM was a word 😮

[Toshita]

All the letters have been posted for with banked books!

[DeeNeez]

OMG…. We can spell SCHLONG G12-M12

I’m still figuring out the score…

[DeeNeez]

18 pts down for plaques
SCHLONG = 13
Double C = +3
Double word =32

32+18 =50 pts!…… if I did the scoring right

[DeeNeez]

In normal Scrabble when you use a 7 letter word you get extra points for clearing the tray

But this game has us using 10 letter tray. Wonder if we clear a 10 letter tray if there is a bonus 🤔

[Saige]

Adding Bubbles to your team!

[Trio]

Hi Bubbles :)
Welcome

[DeeNeez]

Are we ok with SCHLONG? If anyone finds it offensive, we can look for different word…

[Janeylou]

Fine by me Dee...and all those yummy points 😁😁

[Trio]

🤣

[Trio]

Sorry guys I'm just a confused as ever lol - Saige I saw your post on the Review Thread about my "R" posting... I swear there was an "R" before and I was doing it correctly. Apologies! From now on I'll just play it safe and post in the Banked Books tab.

If anyone wants me to post a completion in the Reviews thread just lmk.

[DeeNeez]

Sorry all, I messed up We don’t have an N. So SCHLONG is in valid
My bad, My Bad 😞

How did I not notice the miss ing letter

[DeeNeez]

Back to the drawing board. WMHBCGOTLS

If we build a word starting with S (G12), that 18 pts to start with.

Highest pt letters W, H

SHOW =10 , H hits Double Letter +4,…. (14+18)=32

Trio, I had the same happen! I think some banked books might not have made it over to the main sheet before we checked in

We have a book with an I on hold now though whenever we get a new one! We just have to let Sage know to put crybaby in the spot since she already counted the points

[DeeNeez]

Other options…Double squares

EMBOWS (A14-F14) 32 pts…24 if we save the S for future use
COMMS (D8-D12) 28 pts…22 if saving S
KOHLS (A13-E13) 24 pts…22 if saving S
WOMBS (D9-D13) 24 pts…22 if saving S

Saving the S would give us a possible chance on building high pt word off of PLAQUE later

[Bubbles]

Hello all!

[Janeylou]

Not sure bubbles as Jess ( who you replacing has already been using her books , you may need to ask Saige

[DeeNeez]

I believe Jess’s banked books are still good. Whether they have Jessica’s name attached or Bubbles…
But I could be wrong 🤷‍♀️

[DeeNeez]

Any opinions on words for the board?

[Saige]

Jessica's books are still ok! She said she would be less active than she intended, but she's still a member of your team. So you keep the points she already scored and you're welcome to use her banked books going forward

[Janeylou]

Saige, can Bubbles use her books read since july 1st or just from when she joined team?

[Janeylou]

1 x O is not giving us much

[Janeylou]

How much would ZOOMS give us J6 down

[DeeNeez]

Janeylou wrote: "How much would ZOOMS give us J6 down"

18 pts

[Janeylou]

Bugger

Ok , id say go with EMBOW ..and save the S , get rid of a few.of those awkward letters

[DeeNeez]

👍🏼

Janeylou wrote: "Saige, can Bubbles use her books read since july 1st or just from when she joined team?"

Any books read since the beginning of the challenge count! Same goes for if anyone gets added to your team even a few months into the challenge

[DeeNeez]

New letters are out, but I only count 9 not 10 to work with. I’m asking Saige if 9 is correct

ACRHGCTLS

I just filled the new C. (Another dang C 😑)

[DeeNeez]

If we’re stuck with the current 9 letters then possible:
SCRATCH (G12- M12) =52pts

2*(14+3)=34
34 +18=52

C on double letter, and we hit a double word then +18 for plaques
