If they a key player in the book I would include. If it’s just a one-off POV, I would not

If wendid JOW we could add an L later and an S After that"

Good decision! Submitted

Have a great holiday!

Playing Janeylou’s JOWL (C4-F4)

[DeeNeez]

Played KA (A1-B1) to play that lonely triple word square

[DeeNeez]

FSMVCBSE remaining letters, waiting for 2 new ones from Saige

[Toshita]

Trying my hand at some word options with the current letters:

WEMB (E4-E7) - 22 points (11 points x double word score)
YES (N6-N8) - 6 points
SCRATCHES (G12-O12) by adding ES to the end of scratch which we already have) - 17 points
MECH (L1- O1 or M9-M12) - 14 points (double points for M)
FEZ (J4-J6) -15 points

[DeeNeez]

Awesome choices! Let’s go for WEMB.

Posted 😉

FSVCSDY… waiting for 3 new letters from Saige

[Toshita]

Do you guys think we should ask for a new board? We have about 90 books that are just sitting in the banked tab and we may be able to get through them faster instead of just having them sit there.

I will go along with whatever decision is made. If you really feel we need a new board…go for it

[DeeNeez]

Want to try and use what we can first?

HAZED 18 (O1-O5)
SCRATCHY 18 (G12-N12)
POTTAGES 12 (P15-K15)
QIS 12 (A7-A9)
BI 5 (N2-N3)

That should give us 5 new letters if we go for a new board

[Janeylou]

I think we should wait for an ED to add on to SCRATCH as then we have a triple word we can try and use

[DeeNeez]

Found a couple more small ones

AI (K5-K6)
IF (C8-D8)

[DeeNeez]

Oops! Didn’t see your msg… already submitted all above ☹️

But we should get 7 new letters. That’s Seven books we can move off the bank

We can still get to the triple via the Y if we keep the board and we get a lucky draw on letters

[Toshita]

Posted all the letters from the banked tab, scrabble geniuses take it away!!

[Ellen-Arwen]

Just to say - I'm away so not really present at the moment, but feel free to use my banked books lol. I'll write some reviews some time soon as well... sorry!

[DeeNeez]

Letter tray POWLBNAVCR

[DeeNeez]

We can play YAP (N6-N8) then we can hit the triple word with OWL (O8-O10)

BIB (N2-N4)

[Toshita]

Some options:

VOCAB (H1-L1) - 15 points
BLOWY (N8-N12) - 15 points
UNVOCAL (G10-M10) - 14 points
YAWP (N6-N9) - 12 points
MOPE (E6-H6) - 10 points
CAVA (H12-15) - 9 points

[DeeNeez]

If we do BLOWY….we can still hit the triple word square with PA.

Or wait for new letters after BLOWY and see if a better triple word fits

[DeeNeez]

I like the idea of BLOWY….and wait for the next 4 letters before playing the triple. It’d be cool if we got Q or Z.

If Q need to wait for an I.
If Z, we already have an A….or wait for E or O

[DeeNeez]

I’m going to submit BLOWY 😉

[Toshita]

Dee thanks for submitting the correction!

[DeeNeez]

Letters VCRPANSMCK

We can free up 9 more letter with
KA (O7-O8) …hits triple for 22
AMP (H3-J3)
COP (D13-D15)
EMBOWS (A14-F14)
VOR (M10-O10)
BIN (N2-N4)

[Saige]

Dee, your multi-word plays are diabolical! LOL, I'm super impressed

[DeeNeez]

Thanks,☺️

[Kim]

Dee, you are crushing this word game. When do we decide (if it’s us vs MOD) for a new board? So we can get more/new letters

[DeeNeez]

We do have a new set of letters: aahlkepxfcv
I’ve just been swamped the last few days

But it might be time to ask for a new board…
I’ll ask if a new board comes with new letters, or if we carry this set with us

[DeeNeez]

Ok, I asked for a new board…. But we keep the current 10 letters.
C, A, A, H, L, K, E, P, X, F

[Janeylou]

ACALEPH
HEXAPLA

these were the only 2 7 letters words i came across

[DeeNeez]

Ok, I have a suggestion… save X, our highest pointer for a triple letter


With the positioning, the most we can get out of:
Acaleph is 18
Hexapla is 23

But if we save a vowel using a shorter word and play 2 words at once for 37:
CHAPEL (H3-H8)
PAX (H6-J6)

Any other ideas?

[Janeylou]

Can we play 2 words at once?

[DeeNeez]

Yes did a 6 word play even https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Janeylou]

Well lets go for chapel/pax then 😁

[DeeNeez]

asdeelorkf

This will use all 10 letters for the highest score I can figure out:

SKOALED (H9-N9) ….includes CHAPEL and a double letter for K
OF (J9-J10) …includes triple letter for F
REX (J4-J6)

This will give us a fresh tray to fill with banked books

[Janeylou]

What would the score be Dee ??

[DeeNeez]

Chapel - 13
SKOALED -18
Rex - 10
Of - 12

So about 53

[DeeNeez]

New letters: GWPPOURETV

PUPATE (E5-J5) 21pts …hits double word
GREW (F7-I7) 13pts …hits 2 double letters
AVE (K9-K11) 12pts … hits double word

Any other ideas?……Submitted

[DeeNeez]

[Janeylou]

[DeeNeez]

Letters MMALSSIUYB

Going to use a S to hit double word PUPSTES for 22pts

[DeeNeez]
